The hummer noticed me watching him at the buddelia and flew away to a nearby hedge. I stayed still. He then apparently figured it was safe to return, so he did. He also checked out a (rather paltry) hanging basket of fushcia and verbena just a few feet away from me. It's not the greatest photo, but the hummers move so fast! I don't use hummingbird feeders because I don't want to attract wasps, so it's great to see that the plants are enough to attract the hummers. My questions: I am curious how many of you rely on plants alone, as opposed to feeders? Also, what plants work the best at attracting hummers, in your experience? Thanks! |
