Post a CommentI have never seen bee balm in this color before.
I plant it just to see the hummers.
That is a strange looking, yet at the same time, beautiful flower.
Very beautiful!
Yep, hummingbirds love it and that's why i grow bee balm
The hummers are all over mine right now. Monardas are lovely plants.
I have the best "crop" of bee balm ever this year in my yard, so I hope to see lots of hummingbirds!
Great photo.
Yes, bright red is one of the best known among Bee Balm enthusiasts.
I have a wildflower in my garden I call Bee Balm, it is bright red, yours is a lovely color.
