This year, as in others, I planted annuals and a few new perennials, that would attract butterflies and hummingbirds. I've spotted one butterfly (besides the white ones that don't count), but nary a 'bumminghird'. So here I sat with my tea, yogurt, and bagel. Waiting...
Staring at these...

Hmmm. I wonder if they are like a watched pot. They say a watched pot will not boil. ;)
Enjoy the garden. It is beautiful. I'm sure they will appear soon.
Such a lovely oasis for hummingbirds and butterflies. They're sure to show up sooner or later. The weather has confused them.
Build it and they will come! What a beautiful garden. ENJOY!
Believe it or not, I already have Hummers at altitude, Kathy. They dive-bomb my Hubby if he wears red! None of my perennials are even blooming yet. I did put some red/pink annuals in pots yesterday (hope we don't get a hard freeze here). I'll send some East to you!
Did you have a new patio put in since I was last there? Your garden is beautiful! Do you have hummingbird feeders? I think they're key. I see hummingbirds on my feeders but not on my flowers.
While we have seen quite a few non-white butterflies, we haven't seen a single hummingbird.
Your patio looks beautiful.
I could handle staring at your beautiful flowers regardless of wither the butterflies and hummingbirds come.
I've always heard to hang red ribbons to attract hummingbirds.
Wow---your yard is gorgeous, Kathy...I'm sure those Bumminghirds will be there soon to have dinner---breakfast---and lunch!!!!!!
We haven't had any bumminghirds here yet either... Dang it!!!!
Waiting--waiting..
Hugs,
Betsy
Everything looks so sunny and gorgeous at your place, Kathy. I wish we had hummingbirds instead of mynahs in Hawaii.
Love your pots and your garden! I've got a few hummingbirds - not as many as usual however. Wonder what happened to them this year ....
