Do you have any Crocosmia, Cougar? They seem to LOVE it more than the feeders around here! ~Andrea |

I *had* some Lucifer Crocosmia but they tore that to shreads too. Do I look up what attracts hummingbirds (flowers) on google? Im willing to try what I can. |

We are at the end of August and that is when we start seeing hummers bomb our feeders, here. I have 4 ( I think-they're too dang fast!), and maybe 5. I have one or two in my yard year round, but when we see several, they are starting migration! And they are AGRESSIVE!! They get chest to chest and fly up about 15 feet above the house and just a chattering! No pictures yet, but hopefully I will later! |

Our hummers will be gone in about a week. I saw one in a hovering an orange nasturium hanging on my front porch this morning. That was a surprise to me! Of course, I didn't get a picture, but I saw it through my lace curtains. Beautiful vision. |
