I was so excited this morning while I was perusing my brugs and checking for Y's, I heard a bit of chatter, and looked up to see a hummer seemingly trying to get my attention, this is the first hummer of the year I think for me, (I'm not sure if I saw one earlier - may have, but that experience was nothing compared to today) anyway, I watched him flitter to the red monarda, then the red hot poker, I was thrilled, went in to get DH and have him come watch with me, we walked out to the huge butterfly bush, and there he/she was, flitting from branch to branch, then he sat down and rested for a while, then took off to the red hot pokers. Well...so I went inside and watched them from the windows, running from one to the toher. by this time, there were two of them, going from one butterfly bush to the other, then the red hots (luckily I have about 11-12 big plants with about 8-10 flower stalks each) and the sure love the mondarda, I only have one monarda plant, I will be looking into getting some more.
I had the best time, It just gave me great joy to see these little guys. I am also toying with the idea of getting a couple of more hummingbird feeders...
I want to encourage them to stay in my yard, and maybe have some babies...Or is it too late in the season for the babies?
One was a browniosh, the other had more green to it. is the greenish one the male? or female?
