Let’s talk monardas aka bee balm. Here in the northeast scarlet, purple , spotted and wild bee balm are native. For me monarda fistulosa (wild) is a must have. The leaves smell so good! And you can make a tea with them (not a recommendation) #beebalm #nativeherbs #nativeplants

No spending today so garden planning (still some serious snow here). Who doesn’t need more native mint pollinator pictures? This is pycnanthemum Virginianum (left) and pycnanthemum muticum (right). Native mints smell so good. Now where can I plant more? #nativeplants #mentalhealth #nativeherbs
