The tulips are almost done for the year. The petals have curled, faded, fallen. But they still draw my eye every time I look out the window. Especially with the faded colour of the woodshed as a backdrop.
Now the lupines and bee balm are coming up to take their place.
The sight of a drop of water in the lupine leaves makes me want to cry. I don't know why; it's just too lovely for my brain to process.
The bee balm I planted last year is growing like a weed. I'm not crazy about the flower colour but I am powerless to resist bee balm of any kind. It smells so good. Can you smell it through the interwebs? I wish there was such a thing as scratch and sniff computers - this plant smells so good. Bee balm is sometimes used to flavour Earl Grey Tea. And hummingbirds love it.
And finally, here's a quiz for you (and for me): what is this plant?
No, seriously. What is it? If you know, please tell me. I planted it last year and have no recollection of what it is. Help!
