Hi Travis. wonderful pictures and very precise observations here, a pleasure to read. I'm always a bit jealous on your hummingbirds, since there are none in Europe - closest thing is the Hummingbird Hawkmoth, cute little fellows, which increased in numbers around here in the last 30 years when the climate got notably warmer. Unfortunately, I have more of a problem with my floral visitors here in southern Germany: the bumblebees somehow have learned that the easy way to feed on Mirabilis Jalapa is to bite through the side of the tube and directly drink from this short cut - which then again lets the flower wither and most of the time destroys the style, strongly reducing my seed harvest. I've grown Mirabilis J. for at least 20 years, and I've never seen such behavior. To make it worse, they now expand this knowledge to other plants: I've found side-entries to Digitalis Lutea and Antirrhinum Siculum, looks like any funnel-shaped flower too tight for bumblebees is under attack. This summer was extremely hot and dry, so I hope they're just desperate and return to normal in following years. this, or I'll have to work without my beloved mirabilis.

Crocosmia and a few Alliums are the featured bulbs (members of the Asteraceae and Lamiaceae, among others, make up the rest). Enjoy: >
