Dirt, this is such a great shot, I'm sure it was in your beautiful garden, not always easy to catch a hummer on such a beautiful flower.

Thank you Sherri!
Yes, I have been waitin' on this plant for five years to bloom and finally this year it did--and boy did it, all summer and fall until it froze. Hummers and the bees loved it!

bees are so much more cooperative to photograph, still though, I have millions of abysmal hummer and bee shots
