The wild Bee Balm is blooming in the pastures.
I was surprised at how many different ways Bee Balm can be used, from garnishing salads to relieving menstrual cramps.
I now know that so many of the flowers that grow in our pastures can be used in many different ways besides being food for insects and animals. And although I also know I’ll most likely never do more than look at them and maybe pick some for a bouquet, I like knowing they’re there.
Beautiful!
These used to grow every summer in the hydro field right-of-way behind the house we grew up in. We’d take a little purple piece off the bloom and suck the sweetness out of it. We had a great time in that field!
I never did that Fran. Maybe I’ll try.
