Location: Palm Bay, Turkey Creek SanctuaryThis is called Monarda punctata,
Spotted Horsemint or Beebalm are it's other names.
Its genus was named for Nicolas Bautista Monardes
A botanist who studied medicinal plants in Spain.
Botanists are amazing people,
Who spend their time studying planties.
So let's all thank a botanist today,
Thanks and Happy Birthday to my bestie, Joy Handley.
