Bee Balm - Raspberry Wine Cultivar in bloom (Nannette's Garden)

My bee balm is blooming.  This is not the red Monarda didyma which was herb of the year in 1996. This is a cultivar, "Raspberry Wine".  One view is from the side of the bloom which bees, butterflies and hummingbirds like.  The other view is looking down from the porch to see the tops of the buds and blooms.  The one on the right was in bright sun.  The one on the left in shade about 7 PM EDST. Taken with Camera+ app but images have not been edited. One on left macro setting.- could have allowed more space at the top but difficult to read LED screen in bright sun light and am still learning iPhone6.  This is a periennal plant. It grrows about 4 1/2  feet tall. and adds a lot of color to your garden.
