Bloom update: wild bergamot and rattlesnake master

These two are in the same bed and are really getting going now. The wild bergamot is subtly different from the Appalachian bergamot in the potager. I need to take photos either early in the am or late in the day so they’re in the same light, and once the spotted horsemint (also a Monarda) blooms, I’ll do a comparison post with all three.

But today, I’m enjoying these newly blooming native pollinators in the larger of my two pollinator beds by the house.
