I have read a few articles on hummingbirds and lilies and some say they are not attracted and can not drink from an oriental lily which I do not believe for one second. One of my interests is birds and in particular birds of prey but also the backyard birds as well.
I have seen 5 hummers this morning on the Asiatic Lilies that are blooming..........
and have seen them countless times on other species of lilies
they say not the oriental because the nectar tube is not the same as the other lilies.......
Hummers are attracted to color and not fragrance but also to the size of the flowers.....
how many hummers do you get??
I am not sure if the hummingbird could pollinate one lily to another........suppose that could happen too which is also said to not happen
