What is this flower? (picture included)?

Here is a link here, http://s203.photobucket.com/albums/aa73/... , its a bit blurry, and the flower is kinda wilted. I was cutting grass at this guys house and he had these pinkish white flowers all along his fence. I asked if I could have some and he said I could take them all, since he thought they were weeds. They smell really sweet, and I planted some of them today, I'll get the rest a different day. They will probably do great by next year. They almost look like apple blossoms, what are they? Thanks

As other posters suggested, they may be pink phlox. Look at these photos:

Phlox are usually about waist-high, very fragrant (hummingbirds and butterflies love them), and like part to full sun. They will spread if you put them in fertile soil.





If these are pink phlox, you are lucky! I only have white and purple.
Reply:The pictures is blurry hard to really see it good. I would guess Phlox though.
