Hello Hazel:
Beautiful pictures of your Hummingbirds.... they are all Ruby-throat females - and Ruby-throat Hummers are all that we get on this side of the Mississippi.
The other more exotic hummers are on the other side and out to the west coast and down into Mexico and South America.
What kind of flower is the Cardinal flowers - is there another name for them? because we've never heard of it.
We have had a lot of hummers this year - more so than in past years. And we don't have any flowers to speak of - just the good old hummer feeder - and we've had to fill it about every 2 or 3 days cause the young are around now.
The only flowers we have are a few annuals that we got and planted them in a few boxes that hang on the railing around the front porch, but that's it.
