| there is this nice red crape myrtle at the church two doors up from me. I have never seen any hummers at it, but I only walk past it every so often.
do they truly like crape myrtles? does anyone have one that the hummers frequently visit? if so, i must get some cuttings started |

| I have red Crape Myrtles in my yard and I have hummers that feed from feeders and other flowers but I don't recall them feeding from the Crape Myrtles. Byron |

| We have hummers in the winter and during migration. our do not have flowers in the winter but the hummers love to sit in the trees and will "bug" them. A hummer's diet must include proteins so alot of the time when you see them around plants that do not have tubular flowers, they may be getting insects from off the flowers. |

| I don't think I've ever seen hummers feeding at crape myrtles. Plenty of bees do, though. |
