PLEASE wear bright orange during hunting season!  (Trail is terrain 2 – it is only a 3 for the last 20 feet or so)

This geoart is in honor of my mother, formerly known as the flower lady of Portville. The cache names are just some of the varieties she has in her gardens.  Read the description below to find the information needed to get the final coordinates of the cache.

Monarda didyma:The bee balm plant is a North American native, thriving in woodland areas. Also known by its botanical name of Monarda, bee balm is very attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The bee balm flower has an open, daisy-like shape, with tubular petals in shades of red, pink, purple and white. Bee balm plants prefer moist, rich soil, and a sunny location. Bee balm will tolerate shade, particularly in hot-summer areas. Plant it in any protected spot that would benefit from a bright shot of color. Most varieties of the bee balm plant are between 2 1/2 feet to 4 feet (76 cm. – 1 m.) tall, but there are also dwarf varieties less than 10 inches (25 cm.) high.
