In Explore September 14, 2009, #348. A flower of Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) photographed in my "studio." The reference to a purple riot comes from a poem of John Keats, "The Eve of St. Agnes." The full quote is: "Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow, and in his pained heart Made purple riot."
