I planted bee balm two years ago... it's attracting many bees to my yard - yay! Here is some growing near the tiger lillies. I like the hot pink and orange color combo. bee balm and tiger lillies ( photo / image / picture from daisybeans's Garden ) bee on bee balm ( photo / image / picture from daisybeans's Garden ) bee balm and tiger lillies under the dogwood ( photo / image / picture from daisybeans's Garden )
You're so right, it is a lovely, hot combination. I like the Monarda plants. They're tall, smell good, bloom for a long time and are trouble-free. An ideal plant, really.
I love the color of your Bee Balm. Please, what's the name. The combination in the photo is dynamite!
mine aren't ready to bloom yet, but I sure like the way it spreads. I was given a few last year. 1 spread into 4 this year and the other spread into 6 plants this year. Your colors are nice-orange & red what a great combo.
Love your colors together.How wonderful Bee Balm is and tiger lillies are just great.I have tried to grow bee balm but Texas heat took it out.
DB that is a beautiful combination of colors. Glenda, I hate that you just said the Texas heat will kill it. I was thinking of having it next year!
Lovely combination! I think that the color orange is becoming more acceptable to folks now, as I'm seeing it more and more in perennial beds. I love it!!!
Those flowers look so well together. You have a good eye for colour. I like seeing the Monardas in a large group like that.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I was pleased at how the back bed looked this year -- kind of wild masses. The color combo was more of a happy accident but thanks for the vote of confidence, Sjoerd. When I put it there, I think I was looking at plant shape and scale and hoping to attract bees and stuff. I'm so sorry Gardengater... I dont' know the name other than bee balm... I'm trying to get better at keeping names organized. If I find the tag, I'll let you know.
