They buzz us mercilessly as we sit on our front deck in the evenings. They also have battles at the feeder, though not so much now that the whole garden has much to offer.ricki gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490248145569261660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-22481034424854044862011-07-29T10:05:34.119-07:002011-07-29T10:05:34.119-07:00Have you any of the hardy Cal.

I can't get close enough without scaring them away. So frustrating. They do seem to like my monkey flowers, Agastache and my Jacob Kline Monarda, which is in full bloom.<br /><br />Your Crocosmia is gorgeous. Such a pretty flower.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-80319213564749450742011-07-28T10:35:47.614-07:002011-07-28T10:35:47.614-07:00Hahaha...we must have some special form of telepha...Hahaha...we must have some special form of telephathy...one with extremely limited usefullness ;-) I've never had luck photographing the hummers...they are very wary of me...although I blame the army of roving cats in the neighborhood. It always seems that they go especially crazy for the Agastache and the Salvia 'Black & Blue'. Once that Salvia starts blooming, the cats wait nearby, ready to pounce...luckily, the hummers are too fast for them...but it results in lots of broken Salvia stems :-(scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-90846318458311304182011-07-28T10:05:20.626-07:002011-07-28T10:05:20.626-07:00it was all part of an intricately coordinated plan...it was all part of an intricately coordinated plan that was months in the making! okay, not really.<br /><br />My Phygelius 'Passionate has just a few flowers opened right now and they are pointed inward towards the stem so much the hummers will have to perch on the stem to take a drink. I've seen pictures of them doing them on that style of Phygelius, have you seen them do that on yours? I didn't think they would, but they took to my white Phygelius readily.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501301078027611367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-53968281691810741652011-07-28T10:00:53.843-07:002011-07-28T10:00:53.843-07:00Yay for your Eucomis!
