Monarda is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to North America.
Common names include bergamot, bee balm, horsemint, oswego tea, the first inspired by the fragrance of the leaves, which is reminiscent of bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia).
Named for the Spanish botanist Nicolás Monardes, who wrote a book in 1574 describing plants of the New World.
I want to thank each and everyone in advance who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
I like the processing I did on this one and would love comments about it. Check out the payphone in front almost a thing of the past.

The first frost of the year covers a lemon balm plant with tiny ice crystals, lit by the early morning light. The frost also triggered a massive leaf fall from our catalpa tree, which rained down on the ground for several hours on the windless morning.

"I sing the Poppy! The frail snowy weed!
The flower of Mercy! that within its heart
Doth keep "a drop serene" for human need,
A drowsy balm for every bitter smart.
For happy hours the Rose will idly blow--
The Poppy hath a charm for pain and woe."
- Mary A. Barr
