The tag on this plant said Bee Balm. This was taken yesterday at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. No photo ops today.
Bee balms are also called "Oswego Tea," "Bergamot" and "Lemon Mint." Bee balms' leaves contain the highest concentration of spicy, high fragrant oil that are released when crushed.
