I've got bee balm growing wild all over my yard, and there's one stalk with totally red foliage. If I can get the macro setting on my camera figured out, I'll take a picture of it. You know how they often have rosy veins or a bit of rose at the base of the leaf? It's that color, extended to the entire leaf.

Is this uncommon? Is it worth trying to propagate, or does it mean my plant is infected with some horrible virus or something? ;-D
