Just walking around in the yard this morning we spotted this red flower in an area just on the edge of where we normally mow. Not sure what it is, but it is pretty.

It looks like it might be a “bee balm” based on a Google search, but it’s beautiful no matter what.

It looks like scarlet bee balm. Are you growing that in your herb garden? It’s pretty!

It is a volunteer, not in the herb garden area. Seems like it would be worth cultivating, according to some comments here.

Pretty. I’m pretty sure it’s either a Cardinal Flower or Bee Balm. It’s a little hard to tell from the picture.

It is very pretty and it’s commonly known as Bee Balm. You may have noticed the bees and other pollinators flock to it, probably hummingbirds, too. It’s also known as Monarda and bergamot, horsemint and other common names. It’s in the mint family but I haven’t noticed it being too invasive like regular mint. It’s worth saving and letting spread. It’s an Indiana native! It will spread through its roots. Lucky you!

Thanks for that information. We’ll make sure (if we can) to keep it.
