I saw these at the Hampton Court Flower Show. I have never seen these particular flowers before but I really like them – they are called Monarda and this variety is Pink Lace. I did buy a clematis like the one you can see in the background but the queue to buy the Monarda was huge so I couldn’t be bothered waiting and of course, I now regret it…click to enlarge.
Very pretty…looks a tiny bit like beebalm!
I read in the gospel according to Wikipedia that beebalm is indeed one of their many names. They are also a type of bergamot apparently.
Ah, ok…good to know! I’ll probably forget in about 5 minutes, but in the meantime, it’s good to know. LOL!
