Red Monada

By taggart  
Red Monada

aka bee balm, horsemint,bergamot, Oswego tea and likely many more local names.
Monarda will be found in several colors, white being the native version-- lavenders, pinks and reds. It is endemic to North America and is a favorite of humming birds and all kinds of bees


We grow it is wild places as it is a tall plant which spreads and forms colonies-- great patches of red when in bloom.

What an exotic (to me) multi-storey flower in this delightful, well captured, well composed and well balanced image.

Beautifully portrayed, Jennn. You're showing me what ours should have looked like - 6 plants, but none survived!!!Sad

Superb composition and presentation Jenn, a lovely flower too. I can imagine it being quite a sight when when it is in bloom.

I wish it would be prolific in my garden...I think the soil is too acidic. I've tried multiple times to grow it.
This is a lovely color.
