Thanks!

Thank you! I'm a hummingbird and nectar plant fanatic... and, I'm happy to share the plant info :)

I, too, have a lot of things blooming later this year, but I've been able to find some nice, big plants at a local nursery and most of them are blooming now. Despite it's very visible coat, the squirrel is incredibly stealthy and elusive :)

Thank you!

Thanks! I appreciate the comments

A few recent images of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that's been hanging out in my yard, and a very entertaining albino grey squirrel. (Plant names listed with photos)

Aesculus pavia 'Dwarf Red Buckeye', a native shrub / tree that is the first hummingbird plant to bloom in my yard in the spring, and I always spot my first hummingbird of the season soon after this tree blossoms.

And, the first time I've spotted an albino grey squirrel in my yard. I finally figured out what's been digging around in my zinnia beds :)

Thanks for looking!
