Another stunning beauty in my yard this spring is Bee Balm (Monarda).
I believe I inherited this pass along plant from Linda who blogs at Patchwork Garden http://patchworkgarden.blogspot.com/ When she gave me the plant in October, it had no bloom and was just a spindly little thing. I had no idea it would grow to almost five feet tall and have the most beautiful pinkish purplish color. I don't even know what color this is. Fuchsia?
If I were to name this plant, I might call it Bee, Butterfly, and Hummingbird Balm because it has so many other visitors besides just bees. And, the deer don't bother it. I definitely need more of this gem!
