ok, got back, burned my lunch. this is a bad site to get to if you have stuff to do.
Spring-- in my area PacNW-

right now heathers-- hummers get an inch off the ground and peruse

hellebore-- in and out

prim roses- bright colors buzz them in - put them in the front sunny window box and when
it gets too hot over the house on the semi shade northside.

evergreen huckleberry-- they are almost ready to bloom and hummers check it everyday-
I have to look up what variety I have-- believe from Raintree Nursery out here. (mail order too) -will check

azalea a deciduous hybrid exbury-- blooms before leafing out, has nice (frozen) buds- pretty

mahonia-- almost almost ready need a shot of warmth-
got more- gotta go work--

some people (my cuz) puts a red plastic picnic table cover after winter just for the hummers

in the pic-
mahonia, heather, primrose and on the rockery- candy tuff ,Coral Bells-Heuchera sanguinea
and lupine and pinks
