The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.
Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋♀️
Next year I am moving this plant on my Butterfly garden in full sun
I love the way it stands tall.

Trumpet Vine is a host plant for Clear Wing Moths and I have a fence row down by the lake full of Trumpet Vine. I also have a yard full of Clear Wing Moths. I have both the black winged and brown winged varieties. I LOVE them.
Bee balm is a great perennial for the flower garden, and a favorite of bees and hummingbirds as well as gardeners. Common names include bergamot, bee balm, horsemint, oswego tea, the latter inspired by the fragrance of the leaves, which is reminiscent of bergamot orange.

An ornamental variety of Bee Balm, Monarda dydima (Lamiaceae) in the TWU Butterfly Garden. Monarda species are used as food plants by the larvae of some butterfly species, including case-bearers of the genus Coleophora. Coleophora monardae feeds only on Monarda plants.
While my mother was in the hospital I found some brief respite through visits to Munsinger Clemens Gardens in St. Cloud. Right away I spotted a couple of clearwing moths visiting the vivid magenta colored Bee Balm. There were actually two of them on the same flower for a short time but I wasn't able to capture them together. These gardens are just beautiful and helped heal my soul a little that day.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and faved my images. Enjoy the day.
The morning song from a multitude of frogs and crickets is briefly interrupted by the explosion of a couple of swans taking off and heading to more isolated waters. There is a reassuring balm in the quiet hours of a new spring day, a reminder that the cycle of life continues and that the artificial sounds that clang for our attention throughout our daily lives can't compare with the soothing calmness of nature itself.
