Ooh, sounds lovely! Thanks!

Here's a pic of one of my Lobelia Cardinalis, newly blooming this year. It's not a Salvia, but it's another tall Salvia-like plant that's a Hummer favorite. I've yet to have a camera in my hands when the hummers were enjoying the nectar. They do love it, though and it's easy to grow from seeds.

This is my second try. For some reason the first ones died before blooming. These are almost 4-ft tall and I have them right next to a couple of hummer feeders. They're relatively short-lived perennials, though, so I'm going to let the seeds drop to keep them going.
