This modest pot on the decking is one of two that we planted with pansies and lavender in the Spring for a little colour. (The sunflower is a surprise addition, presumably donated by a passing bird or squirrel)
The pots are surviving the 35C temperatures quite well and to our surprise are attracting Hummingbirds on a regular basis.
My attempts to get a decent photo have so far only yielded this butterfly shot!
Last night the hummingbird visited almost at dusk.
He sat for a while on the perch above the nectar feeder and then stuck his tongue out...
I had never really thought about how long a hummingbird tongue might be, but it makes sense!
The light is so bad in these photos they look almost artistic!
This is the only photo so far of the hummingbird feeding from the lavender flowers....cute feet!!
We will keep trying!
