Yes Catbird & Rod... Nice selections and pic!
Deeper tubed flowers such as Cuphea, (cigar plant) need special excavation equipemt to draw the nectar out. This lil hummer has no problem doing that. Evidently when hummie goes through almost every single bloom, every day, she gets small drops of nectar on the leaves. This is actually perfect for the dime sized Gray Hairstreaks.. I see them light on the leaves fairly often. The nectar must be pretty rich. Lil dab 'll do ya for the little ones.
