The weather is warm but pleasant for the last several days. Humidity levels are tolerable. The garden and plants are in full bloom. I always have several hummingbirds in the yard but I took the time to identify what was catching their fancy.
We have the ruby throated hummingbirds here. I have not seen any other species. Unfortunately, I could not capture a photo of any myself so I downloaded a photo of a pair from the internet.
This photo is from the Alabama Wildlife Federation website.
They really like the dragon wing begonia and the hardy begonia.
This torenia or wishbone flower is also a favorite.
This Rhythm and Blues Wave Petunia in a hanging basket on the deck also attracts them.
The shrimp plant and this red trumpet are also go to plants for them.
Of course, they also can find their way to the feeder.
They are delightful visitors and if you have more than one visiting, you will be entertained by the jousting tournaments in which they engage.
Happy gardening and remember to visit the propagator

Nothing would get done here if hummingbirds turned up, getting a decent picture or two would be all consuming.
Brilliant Doc, I have never seen a Hummingbird in the wild. Love the Shrimp plant too.
Thank you. We see a lot during the warm months.
