| One of our little friends was enjoying the Black & Blue Salvia this morning. We have 3 feeders, but we have a huge garden full of agastache, salvia, buddleia and other hummingbird favorites.

| One things for sure you cant go wrong with salvia black and blue and any other salvia, agastache, etc that have tubular/trumpet shaped flowers as far as hummer use goes. |

| Lorna, that's a female ruby-throated hummingbird. The only kind we really have around here. Once in awhile, a rufous will show up in NC, but I've never seen one. Cameron |

| More pictures this morning...it was cloudy. The female kept chasing off the male! I was out in the garden with my greyhound and there was quite a lot of activity! I had to run back inside to get my camera. These aren't very clear because I pushed the limit on my point-n-shoot digital. I didn't have time to find my son's SLR.
The hummers love the red salvia, tall verbena and crocosmia.

| I can count on the hummers at certain times of the morning, afternoon and evening. I go out with my camera in the mornings when the light is better and sit on a bench waiting for them to get within zoom range of my lens. It doesn't usually take too long! My husband and I sit on the front porch in the evenings and watch the hummers dart around the front garden. Cameron |
