I lost a lot of tropicals this past winter due to 2 occasions of abnormally cold weather, so I'm behind in my ability to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Here's a cuphea for the hummers.

Both hummers and butterflies like the porter weed.

Pentas, Blue Spires Salvia, the first Canna to bloom. Behind the Salvia is a bunch of Ruellia (Mexican Petunia) that will bloom later.

I'm enjoying these photos. My Mexican Petunia is pretty, but invasive. Hard to keep up with it.

The hummingbird loved this plant last summer.

Yes, not a good picture. I brought the whole plant into my sunroom for this
year. Looks like you have David Verity. My favorite hummer plant. Love the pictures. I would love to be able to take photo's like that. It would for sure be my wallpaper on my computer. |

Gardenboy,
I would love to grow your Passion Vine. I have a trellis that is empty and needs a vine. |

Great orchids tucked in there, SpookyShoe ! Are they Phaius hybrids?

Of the plants I see above I have the 1st cuphea and winter them over in the garage. They are only now starting to grow and I'm repotting the 5 large I have.
Also got the blue spires that grow so tall, a safety feature re: cats. Below are a couple of perennial shrubs I planted for hummingbirds. This is a young Anna's feeding on them, the first of the year. The juveniles take a while to become shy. Winter Daphne ![]() Wild Currant ![]() |
