Bergamot Bee
Bergamot Bee
I'm finishing up a drawing with a bumble bee, primrose and fox glove, I'd like to do a ?
humming bird next, but ruby throated ones are over done and they are nearly always depicted with bergamot. Any suggestions for a different type of humming bird with a flower/plant it would normally be found near would be appreciated.
For example, a southwestern humming bird species with native flower it prefers, or a European one....?
My drawings are very detailed and I like to research the subjects, but I just don't know where to start on this one. Help?
Use google images, search the hummingbird by Common or Scientific name. You should see lots of plumages and any number of plants. And if you don't know something in the pictues, you can always ask it in here.

Monarda Fistulosa - Mintleaf Bee Balm - 1,000 Seeds
USD 4.99 Monarda Fistulosa (AKA - Wild Bergamot or Mintleaf Bee Balm) is an upright growing plant which spreads out. It has medium to dark green leaves that are tinged purple. Flowers are fragrant with tubular-shaped individual flowers above surrounding bracts. Bee balm's fall colors are gold, red and yellow. Bee balm is native to eastern North America and the plains, so it is easy to grow from wild flower seed and it multiplies quickly. The flowers' sweet nectar attracts scores of hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to the wildflower seed garden. Bee balm's aromatic foliage smells like mint when crushed and is often used to flavor teas. Bee balm can be found naturally along riverbanks and enjoys this rich, organic, moist soil. However, it will grow in average soil as well. Full sun is best, but light shade is tolerated. Bee balm plants tend to spread more quickly in the shade. Most monardas multiply rapidly either by underground stems or self-sowing. In order to keep plants healthy and vigorous, they should be divided at least every three years in the spring. Deadheading spent blooms will prolong the bloom time. Powdery mildew is a common fungal problem with bee balm wild flower seed. To prevent this fungus from appearing, large clumps should be thinned out so that the air circulates freely around them. The soil should also be kept consistantly moist; dry soil promotes powdery mildew.
