IMG_1614sig

Bee Balm is lovely in the garden and it attracts butterflies and I believe Hummingbirds. Unfortunately every good flowering plant eventually dies down in my Zone 5b Toronto garden.

This is the seed head of the perennial Bee Balm. The plant renews itself each year, but it’s seed head helps ensure that the plant is reseeded and new plants grow around the older plants each year creating an ever growing clump that must occasionally be divided or made smaller so as not to crowd out surrounding plants.

    That’s so cool. I’m just beginning to learn about seed heads, so this is a great find for me.
