Question
Hi, I recently spotted this Monarda punctata growing along the path at the Coonamessett bog restoration project in Falmouth, MA. I don't see it listed for Barnstable county or see any other sightings on the Cape on iNaturalist. Do you agree that it's M. punctata? Thanks!
Answer
Dear ChuxPix65, yes, the image certainly appears to capture Monarda punctata quite well. I am not aware of sightings in Barnstable County. Do you believe this is possibly planted? You mention it was found near a restoratioh area--was this area seeded with wildflowers? Feel free to contact me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org so we can discuss further.
