Great list so far of hummer plants everyone!

I happen to love Morning Glories ... particularly Ipomoea nil. They don't seem to have the invasive quality that some MGs do and have large leaves and amazing blooms. I have noticed different paintings of MG vines and blooms with hummers hover next to them which I found very interesting. I had heard they were good nectar plants.

Well, this past weekend I watched as my lone hummer hit the Red Shrimp Plants and then flew over to the 5 pots of MGs that I have growing up 6' stakes in each pot. The hummer started at the top and went down and then back up to the next vine looking for blooms! It was so cool to see it searching out each and every bloom on these vines! Just another reason to grow MGs! LOL!
