I love bee balm, and snap dragons as well, mine have reseeded for years, purchased as an annual years ago they just kept gracing me with their beauty year after year. Your photos are beautiful!
thats' good to know that the snapdragons will reseed-didn't know that. the bee balm for sure will keep getting bigger-there are three-one is really small so far, I will dig one of the bigger ones this spring and plant in a different spot
I don't do well with Pansies .. I've never tried snapdragons.. Along with Pansies i consider them cool weather plants that will fade with the heat of Summer.. Your Bee Balm is gorgeous.. Does it come in any other colors i wonder? I have seen a couple butterflies here but mainly i found 2 ant beds i had to take care of.. This reminds me i need to work on a T post! Hugs! deb
Good morning Deb, yes the bee balm comes in different colors-last year I had ordered 3 very small plants online and one died so they replaced it-but I didn't know which color died-so I have 2 of this purple which I like too, hoping the third one will be the red one. These are perennials and they will grow large and wide-so either this fall or next spring I will move one of the purples to another location. the third which is behind these two is very small so far. If you like your own teas the leaves and flowers made a tea-just dry them out. I am busy with lots of cooking so I won't be on T this week. The guys sleep in the room where my computer is-so can't be in their late in the evening like I am sometimes up. sorry for the book haha
So lovely, Kathy! I love snapdragons too. Might plants a few next year, thank you for the inspiration. I spotted a few butterflies the other day and a hummingbird. Made me smile too.
Kathy, around here we call them "bunnies" I remember that when I was a girl I played with them making them open and close what looked like the rabbit's mouth.
Very nice🦋! Butterflies need good flowers, especially the Monarch. Next garden center trip, I will look for bee balm. Snapdragons like a bit of cool air. For some reason, the yellow ones do better than other colors in the yard here.
I love this peek into your garden. It is amazing that your bee balm is already blooming so beautifully. The new red one I planted is growing well but is not blooming yet. I hope you are having a great week.
Yes these two bee balm plants grew really fast, the third one still very small fun with our friends-they left early this morning-8 hour drive for them back home
Somehow I missed this post. I am impressed your bee balm is already blooming. Mine is still weeks away. I love bee balm. It is a great garden plant. hugs-Erika
Hi, these two plants grew and bloomed really fast, and to think they were so tiny when I planted them last year. the third one behind them is growing very slow
Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like snapdragons too. I guess I just like the colour :-)
ReplyDeleteyes snapdragons have many colors to choose from
DeleteLovely photos. Snapdragons are beautiful, I love them, too, but they don't do well in my balcony containers. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood morning Valerie, I have a hard time with the snapdragons surviving-with more rain this week hopeful that may help them out
