Show Notes

Monarda species are endemic to North America. As near as I can figure there are fifteen or sixteen species and four of those are found in Arizona. Yay! Monarda fistulosa spp. menthifolia would be a wonderful addition to a high desert landscape…did you hear me say in it grew in pine forests? We’re talking shade, so under a tree or shrub that will get an extra drink. Oh yeah!  And, it’s pretty special to see it in the wild blooming in those shady pine forests from June to September. The photos are mine.
