This is a new flower for me. I discovered it growing wild in the woods behind our house. After some online research, I discovered it is Bee Balm or Monarda.
The fuchsia color is stunning and bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds love Bee Balm. (I didn't catch any hanging around though. Maybe next time.)
This is my first link up to ABC Wednesday
Our bee balm is at a standstill - nice to see yours blooming so beautifully.

Now that you discovered it you will notice it along the country roads at the edge of the woods.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos.
Welcome to ABCW,
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of B-Balm BEFORE BUT I shall look out for it the
next time I'm out and about in the countryside, very pretty plant
and I'm so pleased the BUMBLE BEES, BUTTERFLIES and Humming BIRDS like
it.
I wonder if it enhances the flavour of honey?
best wishes,

Do the petals look like this only in full bloom too? learnt about something new today!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty new to this flower, but the images I found online show several different varieties. Some have petals that are really full and some have petals that are sparse like the ones I found.
