Wild Bergamot


This Monarda fistulosa appears along the southern trail in Celery Bog Park. Monarda fistulosa is a common wild plant with showy fragrant flowers. It grows totally wild in many places in Tippecanoe County although this here is likely the result of a restoration effort. The population of Monarda should persist in this area as long as the habitat remains unaltered. Picture taken July 3, 2010.
