Great picture

These are just as #fragrant now as they were while in full bloom...

The start of a double-decker flower -- note the new green bud emerging from the center #curiouscases

Highly #fragrant of sweet mint, with a mere whiff of pepper... #beemagnet #midwesternnative

Aside from that, @columbiariver it's the only variety that really does well for me, AND the hummingbirds strongly prefer it over lavender or pink...

So #fragrant even before it blooms... #midwesternnative

I love these. So do my hummingbirds

#firstgreen

I just bought one of this. Is it true red?

@ambitiouswolf I have these and they are definitely a true red!!

@cheriej thank you. I had gotten a different bee balm that was red. And it was more pink. So I’m excited it’s true red.

@ambitiouswolf it is redder than red! Red as a fire engine! Tap & swipe the photos to see the blooms from previous years...

Even the #firstgreen is so #fragrant

One of the last holdouts #fragrant #beemagnet #midwesternnative

Other people hang up hummingbird feeders but I just grow mine... #beemagnet #shadelover #fragrant

Best way to go. ♥️

They look marvelous @emch !! Don’t you just love them? ❤️❤️❤️

I really do @cheriej

Once in a while this variety makes one of these #mutant 2-story flowers -- one sprouts right out of the center of the other... #fragrant #101uses #midwesternnative

Dragonfly with dramatic lighting #exoskeletal #wildlifewednesday

Fantastic photo 💚

Without the shadow you would barely see him!! He’s a beauty! 💚💚💚

The shadow makes him appear robotic! 🤖

East Gulch hummingbird station... #fragrant #beemagnet #midwesternnative #101uses

Fireworks 🎆 ablazing

Just in time for July 4th, now that you mention it @NicholasLeDoux

Awesome 😎

Looking good @emch !! Mine are finishing, I’m hoping for a second round. At least I can enjoy yours!!

Just coming to bloom in the East Gulch... #fragrant #beemagnet #midwesternnative #shadelover

@emch Jacob attracts Hummingbirds too! I was getting distressed because the Hummingbirds weren’t drinking our nectar, then I saw them at the Monarda patch!!!

I have Monarda in several colors @cheriej but the hummingbirds are only interested in these...

Isn’t that interesting! These are my first try with Monarda, do you recommend any of the other ones you have? @emch

I find the white ones don't survive my Michigan winters @cheriej but all the others are great...

Yay!! Good to know😁 thanks!!

I have this one & it's just coming into flower like yours 🥰

Coming up nicely #fragrant #beemagnet #101uses

Months before this one blooms it's already #fragrant #midwesternnative
