Don't you love those little guys! I haven't seen them around much this spring...but I've heard them chirping around the garden...they are so quick!
ReplyDeleteOh, goody. I have not seen one yet. At least I know they are coming soon!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip. Love your blog; I always enjoy your posts about your roses and hydrangeas. I wanted to know if the white flower pictured with your 'Blaze' rose is a clematis. If so, do you know the cultivar? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photograph! did you use some kind of special technique? Those roses are literally jumping off the screne into the room with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGotta get my feeders out! So exciting to see the hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that peony! So beautiful!
Connie-Nicole, that is a clematis and unfortunately I don't recall the name of it.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, some tweaking in Photoshop. It is probably just the red though, they tend to jump out at you.
So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful combination!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination.
ReplyDeleteI have had then at the feeders now for about 3 weeks. Not many-just a couple, but I love watching them. Carol
ReplyDeleteThat Clematis looks like Duchess of Edinburgh. Gorgeous companions!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, summery, cheerful picture! Those little birds can make us so happy! I need to wait many weeks to see them in my garden. Their favorite plant is red monarda. Last summer, I even saw them fighting around it.
ReplyDeleteYummy, I would be drawn to these flowers too. I haven't seen a hummer in my garden as yet. I have red roses blooming too. Where is my hummer?? WHINE...
ReplyDeleteWell Lisa, I have not seen him since! Perhaps he was a scout?
ReplyDeleteLove when they arrive and someday hope they let me get a decent photo. gail
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing to get your heart pumping like the sight of a hummer. (Cute little buggers.) I got my act together early this year & put my feeder up already, even though my honeysuckle hasn't even thought about forming buds yet.
