Monarda didyma (Bergamot, Scarlet Beebalm, Scarlet Monarda, Oswego Tea, or Crimson Beebalm) is an aromatic herb in the family Lamiaceae, native to eastern North America from Maine west to Ohio and south to northern Georgia. Its name is derived from its odor which is considered similar to that of the bergamot orange. The scientific name comes from Nicolas Monardes, who described the first American flora in 1569.

About Em
Hi; I'm Em! I am a food, environment, and conceptual photographer located in the mountains of western North Carolina, about 45 minutes west of Asheville. Photography has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am fortunate to pursue my dreams in a location with endless natural beauty as my studio. Whether I'm working on location or in my home studio, I am drawn in by color, shape, texture, strong lines, negative space, and natural light; I have a very graphic style and love approaching subjects in an editorial way. I am extremely detail oriented, and have been known to use unconventional tools to achieve my vision. I have seldom met a box I couldn't think my way out of!
