Zinnia Giant 'White Giant'
Zinnia elegans

Hummingbirds love the neverending nectar stores within these blooms, and that they stand at a perfectly convienent height.

What a beautiful photo. I had no idea that hummingbirds were fond of zinnias, white ones at that. I always thought they liked red and yellow flowers! But this guy seems to love your whites. Learn something every day!

Wy thank you pajaritomt!
You're right! Hummers do love all the brightly colored Zinnias, but white ones just as well. Having white helps to break up all the vivid colors of the other flowers in the garden. :-)

Thanks, Me too Angele!
This year I am planting some Thumbelina Zinnias too.. I thought I'd try the low growing ones to see how they do with bf's and hummies.
