Yesterday I talked my husband into going to a local, out-of-the-way nursery just to look.  I told him that we had only one rule--we couldn't buy anything!

We walked through the annuals, and almost bought a small, mango-colored flower (can't remember the name now). 

So, when we were approached by an employee in the perennials, I felt confident.  When she introduced us to the minty smelling hyssops, and then suggested an orange sherbert color combined with a red one, my husband caved and bought five of them for me (3 orange, 2 red).

 We placed them near our hummingbird feeders, and we're hoping to see more hummingbirds because of it.  What's even better is that they are perennials!
