Butterfly weed , stiff goldenrod, foxglove beardtongue, wild bergamot signs
Our #NativePlant #signage arrived for the #garden on the southeast shore of #GrassLakeMinneapolis!
We’re starting with #seedlings so there won’t be many #flowers year 1, and these photo-signs will help people envision years 2-3

Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) doing what it does best.
Lavender crowns, square mint stems, and a full pollinator shift on duty.
Perennials stabilize.

A dark morph female Eastern tiger swallowtail on wild bergamot. There are several flowers in the picture. The butterfly is on the one in the center, which can barely be seen because of the size of the butterfly. It is facing up. The butterfly is almost all black, except for some beautiful iridescent markings near the bottom of its wings. There are small tails coming off the ends of the wings.

Three different plant tags in green, blue, and black
Ordered some different plant tags (mostly just considering colors) to hopefully use in the #CommunityGarden. Exciting to think about all the different #NativePlants that the #neighborhood can learn about!

A photograph I took of wild bergamot in my garden. It considers its existence.
softly, I gaze up
not caring… life is fleeting,
silent symphony

Keep in mind, I'm not a medical professional, so I don't endorse using it for medical reasons.

Back from vacation stunner! Found #wildbergamot (#beebalm) growing out back - maybe from a mix of #wildflower seeds I threw down a couple years ago?
The Snowberry Clearwing moth drinking from a wild bergamot (bee balm) flower. Notice the dark banding and black legs
A Hummingbird Clearwing moth drinking from a wild bergamot (bee balm) flower. Notice the lighter legs, lack of eye banding, and orange/brown coloring of wings and body
On the left the Snowberry Clearwing (Hemaris diffinis) and on the right the Hummingbird Clearwing (Hemaris thysbe): Can you spot the differences? #moths #clearwings #snowberryclearwing #hummingbirdmoths #hummingbirdclearwing #pollinators #monarda #beebalm #wildbergamot
A bumblebee, possibly a brown belted bumblebee is foraging on a bee balm bloom.
Same bee as previous image on a different bloom on the same plant.

Wild Bergamot has flowers that are attractive to hummingbirds and hummingbird moths. It is lovely to see growing wild or in landscaping. #wildbergamot #monardafistulosa #wildflowers #nativeplants #westsiderowingclub #buffalony #eriecounty #wny

Bee on a Wild Bergamot flower
Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is a native #beebalm blooming now. Pollinators, especially bees, love their fountain like blooms. Also makes a great oregano substitute #bloomscrolling #wildbergamot #monardafistulosa #beebalm #nativeplants #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #nativeplantsofmissouri #bees l

Collage of four photos to illustrate native plant restoration in yard. 1-area crowded with green leaves of spent spring bulb plants. 2-cleared portion with planting of our small wild bergamot. 3-Close-up of small bergamot. 4-close-up of small St. John's Wort stems with leaves
Slowly #decolonizing yard, replacing mostly non-native plants, with #nativeplants in patches. I found a small Shrubby St. John's wort, then it's tiny companion, drowning in sea of non-native bulb plants. (Relocated them to front yard.) Made space for #wildbergamot. #gardenforwildlife

Bugs and Wild Bergamot
I followed the Bumble to this flower and waited for a shot. I think that's my blood in that mosquito.
