Bergamot

Success!  I've got two big bergamot plants growing in my prairie area.  Also known as bee balm this plant has purple flowers that smell peppery and are covered with bees and flies.  I am so excited to have something other than wild grape vines growing in this area.  The grape vines are pretty much taking over and they make it impossible to walk through there.  The vines trip me.  Bergamot has medicinal qualities.  It is a natural antiseptic. Native Americans used it to treat excessive flatulence.
