Unusual Flower ID please
I found an unusual flower, which I cannot identify with my wildflower books. Does anyone know what this is? :confused:

It is one of the Monarda species, possibly Monarda punctata. Commonly known as horsemint, beebalm and bergamot among other names. http://www.wildflphoto.com/species.php?k=p&id=51

FYI - For people asking for flower IDs, location information (state, county, habitat) is often helpful.
