I wonder if some of your visitors were blown about with the wild weather ?

Lovely vignette, Denise. Thank you for sharing

In a remarkable piece of synchronicity (to me), I was sitting on the swing yesterday evening. I had read your post earlier. I was gazing out to Reve D'Or which has her first two sprays ever. She is growing under your style trellis which I constructed last weekend.

I have decided that the bent and arched rebar are too short there and will probably change to the 10 foot un-bent version. While contemplating this I noticed a hummingbird had flown in to feast on Reve D Or's blossoms.

In a split second it alighted on the rebar and just hung there. I was quite far away, but did notice a prominent band around the throat. As it was nearing dusk, I could not see color either.

Ohhh...a hummingbird on Reve D'Or at dusk, and a swing!. Now that is a beautiful mental image.

I just googled necklace pod (sophora something) because I need to move one and had to check size for it's new place. I learned it's a hummer favorite, perhaps that's why it was here, two plants in the garden, along with some firecracker plants.

Never knew hummers liked roses, now I'll look for them there too.
