Attracting Hummingbirds

The  problem with "Bucket Lists"...
Butterfly Weed Attracting Hummingbirds

The funny thing about lists is they clearly point out what you have accomplished and all that is left to be done. When I finished my web page Attracting Hummingbirds, I was disappointed to learn that I am only growing ten wildflowers that these "high strung" flying machines consider dinner worthy.


Goal for 2013:  Research other plants that hummingbirds enjoy. Thanks to my market friend Paula, I have Lonicera sempervirens -Trumpet Honeysuckle seeds stratifying in my refrigerator. Royal Catchfly (Silene regia) is another plant that I am giving a try. At least I am heading in the right direction; with a little luck I will have some new and interesting plants in the spring.
