Bee Balm ??? by thewatersphotos

Bee Balm ???

My phone app said this is Bee Balm, (see a previous photo before it bloomed https://365project.org/thewatersphotos/365/2023-06-27), but is doesn't look like the Bee Balm when I GOOGLE it.
Any ideas??
My app suggests Salvia coccinea (it seems to have a number of common names-- Tropical Sage, Scarlet Sage, Texas Sage, Blood Sage).

Nice picture of whatever it is; it looks so red when it's just starting to bloom but much more pink when it's opened up!

It does not look like the Bee Balm I have. It may be Foxglove. Do those look like bells. I have a picture in my album of foxglove a week ago I think.

I would agree that it's a salvia of some kind. Great colour!

I would begin with the thought from @ljmanning -- something in the salvia genus. Indeed, compare with this image, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/imgs/paraman1/r/Lamiaceae_Salvia_sp_25929.html

I think it's a salvia of some sort too. But it is pretty.
