Happy Birthday, Dorothy. Here's Ipomoea quamoclit immortalized by Martin Johnson Heade in one of his hummingbird paintings to distract you and the rest of us from the coming winter. It was painted during 1864-5.

The Athenaeum allows general use of its images, as long as you credit them as the source.

Scroll down to Ruby Throated Hummingbird. (I think I might see a couple more of Heade's paintings with other possible MG species - anyone want to guess?)
