Bee Balm, Monarda didyma, Pittsburgh, PA 2019
Bee balm is so pleasing to the eye that it's been widely cultivated for that reason. Bees, moths, butterflies, and humming birds all come into the garden to drink of its nectar. Medicinally the plant is an excellent poultice for bruises, cuts, and bites, while a tea of the flowers and leaves makes the perfect antiseptic mouthwash and sore throat gargle.
