The bee balm, up close

Bee balm's shaggy scarlet crowns shelter a steady traffic of bees and hummingbirds through midsummer, feeding whatever gathers near them.

On the card inside: “Like bee balm that shelters what gathers near, your compassion is a kind of protection. Something in you steadies the room, quietly, without announcement.”
