Bee Balm


I always regret the appearance of Bee Balm (Monarda media), also known as Wild Bergamont, on the Mesa Trail. It blooms in July and August but always seem to be the last flower to bloom in the season. A hybridized version is available for garden use, which has the reputation for attracting humming birds.
