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.

Hummingbird Garden

Sighting on my birthday

21 years ago

Hi All,

I had given hope of sighting a hummingbird. However, my flagging spirits were restored when I was working in my garden on July 1st and something buzzed by me. It was a hummingbird, who miss took the red harness of my son's swing for a feeder. I took to watching the feeders and flowers over the next couple days. On July 4th one hummer kept visiting on the hour so I set my camera up to get some pictures.


Other than the feeders, I have only seen them feed on the evening primrose and scarlet runner flowers. May be when my agastache starts blooming that will be a big hit with them.
