Yesterday afternoon I walked outside to water the garden and the light was so inspiring I had to grab my macro lens and capture these Dr. Seuss-like creatures. This particular perennial is named: Monarda didym. More commonly called ‘Jacob Cline’. I planted it specifically because it is a particular favorite of hummingbirds. The summer show has not been disappointing, several times a day the hummingbirds can be found gorging on its nectar.
