This plant should be a snap to identify for anyone living in our desert South-western states. Originally a perennial from Mexico, it is also native to Az, NM and Texas. It is a member of one of the largest groups of hummingbird attractors and is very popular with home gardeners through zone 5.

This is one of the plants to have blooming as hummingbirds begin their marathon trip to the tropics. See if you can name this plant
