Hummingbirds and Their Favorite Flowers


The hummingbirds (there are at least 2 - two females have been keeping each other company the past few days - mother and daughter?) are regular visitors to the feeders now. They also enjoy the nectar from the:
butterfly bushes
Verbena bonariensis
cosmos
zinnias
hops
cucumbers
roses
hollyhocks
tithonias
thistle

Having the hummingbirds here has been the highlight of the summer! I have set out feeders for them in years past, but wasn't home enough to pay attention and probably didn't change the sugar water often enough so they stopped visiting. It is a daily treat to see them!
