They should bloom by the time the hummers get up here to Ohio. But I suppose I should start putting out my feeders again. Will make myself some nectar tomorrow, and get going on that. So I'll be ready soon!

We only ever get a few hummingbirds and they are so territorial we could never have more than one at a time. I marvel when I see those feeders with multiple birds all getting along with each other. This year the hummers can feast on S.leucantha which is a fall bloomer. I worry it won't be there in the fall for them.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-58728090677324035442017-04-07T14:54:48.132-05:002017-04-07T14:54:48.132-05:00Hi Gail!!

I even shared it with one of my neighbor's, but eventually it succumbed to the detestable north country winters! I so enjoy your Spring step-ahead-of-us! Shades of things to come!

Once they get established, I do hope to attract more hummers again.

I saw the first Hummingbird here in northeast Mississippi on March 24, five days before last year's date of March 29. As more birds arrive, I add more feeders. <br />Your flower photos are beautiful!<br />Hope you are having a great week!<br />Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.com
