This is one of my newest plant acquisitions. I have wanted one of these for a while, if only because I liked the name. What I didn't know was exactly how this plant would look in full bloom. So I saw this at the nursery last week. It looked pretty cool. See the purple leafy-looking things around the base of the flower? That's pretty much all I saw when I bought it. I liked the contrast of the purple against the green. I thought it would look great somewhere in my garden.... Then, after it sat in my yard for a few days, it started bursting out in the beautiful, pink petals that you see here. Now, the whole thing is a ball of eye-popping pink! I was so pleasantly surprised!! Can any of you name this plant? Either the common or the Latin will do.....I will make a treat for the first one to correctly identify this pretty posey! Unless you live in Georgia......then bragging rights will have to suffice......

HEY! Was the Georgia comment directed at me??? Let's see that would be bee balm, also known as monarda. I will give you my address so you can send my special treat!
That is such a pretty picture to see each time I check your blog- I LOVE it!
So, was Haley right? I just looked at it and thought "Ooo. Pretty flower! And pretty background flower color!" No names (latin or otherwise) came to me...
Hey Tammy, I picked you for a blogging award. Check my blog. It is Happy Valley on Wendy's blog. You are awesome!

I have been checking my mailbox everyday in the hopes that some wonderful mystery treat will be awaiting me. Everyday I come up empty handed. Just thought you might want to check and see if it got lost in the mail or something!
I have no idea what that gorgeous plant is. But if I were to give it a name, I would call it "Queen Tiki Tiki." I love the head dress look all in pink.
