I will have agastache seeds, you know...most likely LOTS of them. I also see the hummers hitting my lepechinia hastatas and I will have seeds from them also. I'm very surprised that the hummers have not been visiting the lobelia tupas...friend Bex said that she's noticed that sometimes if a plant is new to the hummers, they don't visit it untill they get used to it. She plants a lot of grevilleas and the first year the hummers did not use them...not until the next year.

I'll keep that in mind! Right now I need to find them some winter bloomers of some kind. I do have citrus and a Gelsimium vine, but the jury is out on toxicity of Gelsimium, at least to bees. My hummers are pretty adventurous when they can't get on the feeder. They check any flower they can find if it's small enough that they don't feel trapped by it.

I think I have enough Salvias already...all in pots that need regular watering. I have approximately 100 potted plants (not counting orchids) that all need to be up-potted.

The only two that don't...and that water has to be topped off a couple times a week.
