beautiful hummers Allison.

thanks ... the one was defending the yard.. and chasing any others away

More lovely butterfly, hummer and blue jay pics. Is that a baby blue jay? Nice shots.

Great shots Allison!! love those hummers...i've only seen 2 here all summer. Very strange!

I don't think it was a baby... but there were a few around this past spring... so it could be.. amazing how they survive making all that noise.. so sorry to hear it Celeste.. hopefully you will get some more now

I keep whispering to them that I have agastache now...it's not helping. Not even one butterfly on my butterfly bush! But that could be due to 5+ acres of pure milkweed!
On the other hand my lilies are in full bloom:)

'Angelique' starting....

'Conca d'Or' and phlox

'Chiara' or 'Vandella'(pink) not positive which one and 'Tanita' the white.

'Sorbonne'

'Nymph'

'Timezone' just starting to open.

'Bonbini'

'Queen of Spades'

Last one for now......just a noid.

Wonderful lily collection!

Love those lilies! Going to look for 'Nymph'.

Pat, you & I have the same taste in flowers....love Nymph....and I'm finding the same results with Honey Perfume. The rose Tequila I also bought this year is reblooming & looks great. Allison, those photos were great...think photo contest! Pixie, I haven't seen any butterflies on my butterfly bush either....& yet, when I walk the dogs behind the dam, I've seen loads of butterflies every day.

Maybe not enough water to produce much nectar? I have only seen the bfls at one BB. Here is a pic of HP. This hot dry weather is really shortening the life of many types of blooms I think.

First bloom of hibiscus 'Peppermint Schnapps'.

Thank you BA & Pat!
I'm really liking that 'Peppermint Schnapps'!
