My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need Hummingbird Help

16 years ago

Hello,

I have a problem. Last August i planted a bunch of hummingbird plants in a quiet section of my yard next to my shed and arborvite bushes. I thought for sure that i would see a hummingbird right away the following spring because i planted all their favorites. Such as coral honeysuckle, lantana, salvia, beebalm, wild bergamot, columbine, red buckeye, and lillies. I have even put up a hummingbird feeder and so far have not seen a single one. Has anyone had a similar experience? What should i do?
