A Hummingbird At The Beebalm

June 21, 2026

I’m so pleased to have Scarlet Beebalm (Monarda didyma) blooming again. They’re dependable perennials. With brilliant red flowers that call to Hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Blooming with perfect timing. It won’t be long until there will be multitudes of these birds flying, as the nestlings fledge. Beebalm petals have a long, tubular shape, perfect for the Hummingbird’s beak and tongue.

  1. I can’t wait for this very same sight in my gardens in a few weeks! Great capture of your Hummingbird, Bren.

  2. Hi Brenda
    Love all your beautiful pictures and enjoy reading up.
    I think I accidentally signed up for the emails twice and now get 2 each time.
    If I in subscribe one it will probably unsubscribe both.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks
