I have a big batch of Monarda right by my front door. In fact here it is:
For those who don’t know Monarda, it’s the wine-red flower next to the white Shasta daisies.
Anyway hummingbird’s LOVE Monarda. So any time I want, and it’s really pretty much any time, I can go look out the door at the Monarda, and there will be a shiny green hummingbird at work. They notice me through the screen door, rise up to about my eye level, come close and give me a lookover (“hunh? whasszat?”) and then go back to mining the flowers.
So they get about 3 feet from me on the “lookover” and I am always entranced.
