Thanks - glad you enjoyed the hummer.

Chillybean - I have tried and tried to get the Cardinal Flower to grow here to no avail. I have Bee Balm, but seems to me that the bloom time is short. As you mentioned - I have the columbine, too. I used to have the red Bee Balm, but now all I have is purple (photo #1). Let's see - the hummies like my hosta blossoms (which I find rather ugly) - but I leave the blooms for them.. I have blue cobalt mint that they really enjoy (and it has been blooming for some time and will bloom until frost-probably mid Oct.). You cannot imagine how many zinnia I have. I actually have them in rows in 4 large gardens.

Speaking of polenators - check this guy out below photo. I think he is about to be overloaded. And of course the he is on a zinnia. My 10 year old grand daughter took the bee photo a couple days ago. Well shucks - my other photo's do not want to load. I'll try another post just below this one.
