Why Do Hummingbirds Hum?

Because they don't know the words!  I bought myself my first hummingbird feeder today.  Around here, I'm told, it needs to be installed on Mother's Day.  That puts me a week behind, but I'm hoping for the best.  I plan to plant some hollyhocks near the feeder. I read that my chances of luring the itty bitty birdies would be enhanced if I did that.  Here's hoping.

I enjoyed the post. I hope these suggestions will help.

You want the plants you choose to have a season of overlapping bloom, including plants such as the petunia, annual red salvia, autumn sage and shrimp plants, or the firebush.

You should plant flowers and plants which are native to your area of the country. You can find out information concerning the specific plants that grown in your area and attract hummingbirds by talking with someone from a plant nursery that is located where you live.
