I just found 2 in my garden..I have no idea where they came from but they are now one of my favorites..they are right next to the bee balm ( the red bee balm) so I thought maybe a hybrid developed or something. I don't care how they got here ..I hope they're here to stay!

  @Regina Monarda punctata is a native and readily self-sows. If you have some of it and it is happy you will soon have lots of it.

  @Douglas Hunt Good. Now, I have a question. I have a shrub that came out of nowhere, posted some pictures and was told it is a mulberry. It is about 4-5 years old but it has no berries. It is deciduous. Do all mulberry trees bear fruit and if so, how long does it take? Some people advise to cut it down but I love the leaves. Any help is appreciated. I call it my " Spirit" shrub because I like to think it came from the happy nature spirit.

  @Regina There is a non-bearing mulberry, Morus alba. Take a look here: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=d439
