Bloom update: my most favorite pollinator plant of all, Monarda punctata, or spotted horsemint

 


I don’t know what it is about this plant and its flowers, but whenever I look at them I feel total joy. I’m sure the colors are part of it, but also the textures, the layers, the spots, and the stacked flowering are also visually alluring to me.

I stood today and gazed at the first rush of blooms. In a week or so, the entire area will be full of these lovely flowers. So much joy.


En-JOY.

They are a pretty plant. I can see why they bring you joy.

Gosh, I forgot to mention that the fact that they have “horse” in the name probably predisposed me a bit too. :)
