Wildflower - Wild Bergamot

The Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is starting to bloom and the butterflies and bees are drawn to it.


Wild Bergamot is an aromatic member of the Mint family (Lamiaceae) and native to North America.


The color of the flowers can vary from lavender, pink or white. I found this one pink plant behind our barn, within a field of lavender flowers.
