Wow. Beautiful shot!! I am never quick enough:)

I have this baby rabbit that comes to my yard, and I swear it just seems SLOW, if you know what I mean, its kinda really dumb cute. I look at him and think you are way to brave, and have no idea how easy I could have you,, but he just sits there kinda dorky eating the grass, hanging out in the shade...

They've swarmed around me, not in a threatening way but in a "you're OK" sort of way. My sister says it's because I am the real life Snow White! LOL! But they will tweet at me. I never knew hummingbirds tweeted until recently.

I was ready today! I had my phone all set to go and just took shot after shot! This was the best one! There were actually 3... The other 2 were at my Albomarginata!
Here's the 2nd best shot of one of the others...

Those are so cute....I love hummingbirds! I get them on my monarda, knifophia and fuschias, but I've never seen them on my hosta flowers. I wonder if "Wheee!" and "Albomarginata" are particularly attractive to them, or have you noticed them on other hostas as well?

How lucky you are! I didn't see any last year.

Great shots! I am never fast enough, either.

Good that they are getting used to you - you will be able to get even better and better shots. Zoom in! I noticed they liked my albomarginatas last season. None of my hostas are flowering yet but the hummers are all over 2 feeders. This one is just a few feet from my morning coffee area on the deck.

They seem to like the Albomarginata and the Wheee! They didn't really like Fire Island's blooms, though. I thought they would because they were so bright purple. Maybe it was too close to the door and the cats for their comfort? They also liked Midwest Magic's blooms. But I am not surprised.... MM's coloring is very bright and attractive to them, not just the blooms.

The only other one that's bloomed so far is Paul's Glory but they were not on him either. However, his just bloomed this morning so maybe they didn't see it yet?

I notice that the flowers are pendulous, they hang down like a pendulum. It makes it easier for them to "refuel in mid air" so to speak. Since neither of those two hosta are fragrant, it has to be that they make nice pollen, and it is easy to refuel.

In the Plant Delights Nursery hosta descriptions, Tony Avent always describes some hosta as "hummingbird magnets."
You made a good observation, Brandy.

One visited Paul's Glory this morning!! No camera though. :(

Yea, Wheee and Albomarginata, Midwest Magic, and a couple of my others are said to "attract hummingbirds and songbirds" That must be why the songbirds are making a fuss every morning? It sounds like they are right outside my door? I guess it's because they are!!!

Whenever I have been out early in the morning watering they like to come around. A fine spray is what they enjoy. They buzz around the edges if you keep it in one place.

Haven't seen one this year as there has been no need to water anything around here. It is getting hot and dry, so this will change soon.
