Same here. It was a rainy morning and just as the rains were starting up again, one hummer flew in to get a morning drink. As the rain continued, he came back (I'm pretty sure it's the same one), took a drink, and then sat on the wires of the hanging lights mounted on the pergola. A bit later, another one showed up, and I'm assuming the same bird chased him away. I had read that some are territorial but I hope I an get more hummers in together like those YT videos.

I've had what I've now identified as a pinkish Salvia gregii for many years now, and have never really noticed hummingbird activity. So I thought maybe I need a reddish one instead. Will have to look for that and see if they prefer it over the pinkish one. If they did, I could replace my whole front yard with these since the current salvias are taking up about 20 feet of the front landscaping.

I usually have fuchsia hanging plants that have attracted them before. But my new yard has too much sun. Maybe I'll get and hang now until heat really comes on and move them.

Flame Acanthus, Red Yucca, clematis, Rose Pavonia, Crossvine, Cenizo, penstemons, Coral Honeysuckle, Aancacho Orchid Tree, Turk's Cap, hibiscus, any color of salvia, Cypress Vine, and morning glory vines are among their favorites. They're hitting the hummingbird feeder pretty often these days. I've seen a male (or different males) coming to it often today. If it was the same male over and over, it sure has a huge appetite! The females are here also, so there could be nests out there somewhere!

For a sun-liking hanging pot, maybe some petunias or calibrochoa will do the job!

One year I bought the most hideous pink floral shirt (on clearance). I thought I might remake it to wear to a Hawaiian party but never did. BUT, I put it on every spring when the hummers first start coming around and they zoom over to me to check it out. It is so funny! But they get used to it quickly and then ignore me.

Lol I might go look for a shirt. That would be neat.

Love the photos. Also read about the wetlands on your blog. Something to put on our day drive list.

Thanks. I'd like to go back to the wetlands again too. It was pretty neat.
