Show of Color

Ms. Monarda fistulosa has shown me her color as of a couple of days ago--June 7, the first bit of bloom is opening. Soon the whole patch will be full of color and scent, and bees and butterflies will happily gather again. This is two weeks and two days ahead of the date she bloomed last year. That's typically the way things have gone this Spring--everything is about two to four weeks early because of the warm winter and early heat. I wish that also meant Fall would be early, but probably not.
