There was a lot of talking about different cameras today-very intriguing-I was looking at mine and pulled out this picture from a few days ago. The hummingbirds love Barb?s garden. Sometime soon they will leave till next year.

As I look at your beautiful photos - I wonder- all we all surrounded by such beauty - or have your heart experiences give you the perspective you needed to see it more?
I live in Tennessee, and I think that it is one of the most beautiful places on the planet!
Thank you for always sharing the beauty that surrounds you with the rest of us!!!

Fabulous photo!! What plants do the hummingbirds like? I ask that because I've really become interested in gardening this year. I ripped out all the old bushes in the front of our house and planted all sorts of grasses, hydrangeas, lavendar and butterfly-attracting plants.
I want a little friend too!
So what plants of Barb's do they go for?

I know they like Honeysuckle and Jasmine, they hang around my house in the winter. Karlynn, is that you in the photo? No wonder Brad and George are stalking you.Karlynn said:Fabulous photo!!

We had numerous hummingbirds that lived in the garden at our home in Los Angeles. That was the first time I had ever seen a hummingbird nest. I never thought of them stopping long enough to live in a nest since they seem to always be on the go.
We had nectar cups hanging from our deck and often had 6 or 7 hummingbirds there at one time. It was a little slice of heaven and one of the things I miss the most about that home.
Dennis, thanks for bringing back those great memories. I needed those smiles today.
Karlynn, your avatar photo is great. You look so happy and glowing like you were the one expecting. Well, I guess you are without the pain of giving birth. Surely the best of both worlds.

what a great picture, I love hummingbirds they are so little and fast I'm really impressed w/ what a clear picture you got.
Karlynn, they sell humingbird feeders that you put sugar water in w/ red dye, they are pretty inexpensive and beside the flower they really come around the feeder Lyn

Karlynn-I will get an answer.
Karlynn-I will get an answer.
I will get an answer to you as soon as I get the information from Barb. I enjoy seeing hummingbirds around a feeder, but for true beauty, I don't think the feeders compare to seeing them hovering around some beautiful flowers.

Yup - that's me in the avatar. But you're all supposed to say "Gee, you don't look old enough to be a grandma!" Oh, well. D )
I planted a Mandarin Honeysuckle this year. It took off like crazy and climbed well on the trellis but it didn't flower and I'm told won't for a few years. Maybe it will bring me little friends!
I look forward to Barb's suggestions. I've really been working hard on turning my brown thumb to green.

If you looked old enough to be a grandma, I don't think George and Brad would be stalking you.

Umm you left someone out there buddy and I would stalk her even if she did look like a granny. I don't discriminate.RandyL said:If you looked old enough to be a grandma, I don't think George and Brad would be stalking you.

your new photo is great - you look so pretty. You sure don't look like the "Granny" I had! Much (much) older and truly my Granny looked like Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies - she was very tiny and spry.
Dennis - I wonder if that hummingbird just migrated from our place in Colorado. Our hummingbirds left about two weeks ago - heading south. Thanks for making us look at the "little" things in life and appreciate the beauty of all nature.

The scientific name of the plant is "Agastache cana".
Common Name: "Ava" Hummingbird Mint. Available at:
www.highcountrygardens.com "Barb is a great gardener, and she swears by these people. I assume you would want to give them your location, altitude, etc. Surprisingly (I think because of our altitude) she has had some overlap between Minnesota & New Mexico.
