Great shot Sue! Definitely a hummer magnet. Will have to research whether or not I can grow this here for my favorite flying critters!

Oh Kin, I didn't realize you had selected this shot, thanks! This was my resident hummer's favorite plant and it was about 7-8 ft. tall. On real cold winters with extended frost, it would cold burn the branches but it always came back. I brought a tiny piece of it to plant in my new garden, still need to find the perfect spot (and plant it in a gopher cage!)
