Flower Art: The Mysteries of the Bee Balm, Today’s Flower Start. It’s Also A Kindly Flower

by Jon Katz

The Bee Balm is a dream come true for this photographer, full of twists, turns, and shapes.  Bee balm is a good and helpful flower with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-nausea properties that naturally support those with eczema, sore throats, cold sores, achy muscles, and congestion.

As a diaphoretic, it is used to naturally aid in relieving fevers. I’m enjoying learning about flowers now as I write about them. It’s a fantastic world. I hope you all had a meaningful holiday.

I know we did it here at the farm. After a happy hour taking photos, I’m signing out with my newly plucked Bee Balms and camera.

I look forward to seeing you in the morning.

Please remember to consider the Juice Campaign; I hope to send Lemonade and Cranberry juices to the pantry in large enough quantities so that Sarah can stock some and not have to use them all up every time.
Since both juices cost very little, I’m confident that we can pull it off. More than 50 new bottles of lemonade are already in the pantry, thanks to the Army of Good; more are coming, and I hope more will come in our lemonade crusade. Sarah loves the Lemonade plan; she hopes we can do the same with the cranberry juice. Links and cost are found here. $7 gets them both sent from Amazon.
She says she has a stockpile of Lemonade for the first time. This approach opens many new opportunities to help significantly the pantry while keeping the expenditures small. Thanks to all of you, good lives in America.
We were catching the light, chasing the sun.

The Bee Balm has the most intriguing shape of any flower I’ve photographed.

These flowers seem alive, moving, and communicating.

 

 

I tried this one in black and white; it highlights the living feeling of the Bee Balms.

I borrowed orange fabric from Maria as a backdrop for the flowers. I liked its warmth.
