Blossoms and Hummingbirds

This is my Lions Tail plant  in  the front yard.  It really had the blooms this year.  It was amazing.

I don't know the name of this plant.  I got it at a Cottage Nursery and the leaves smell like Peanut Butter, so I call it my Peanut Butter Plant.  Does anyone know it's name?

Do I have hummers - I have three feeders on the front porch and there are always 2 to 3 hummers drinking.

At dusk they really come in 10 to 12 at a time.  I guess they are getting ready to store their energy for the night.

I love to sit outside and watch them as they are such busy little birds.  They sure let me knew when their

feeders are empty.  I have never used so much sugar in my life.  The feeders are re-filled every other day.

Here is one of my pink hydrangea bushes.  I didn't have as many blooms this year as last, I don't know why.

I have 6 different colored bushes along this side of the house which is east and they seem to like the early morning sun.

The closest bush has two different colored flowers on it - blue and purple.  The two farther back are white.
These bushes had tons of flowers, while some only had two or three blooms.

Here are some more of my flowers in the front yard along with some roses.

Can you see my little cherub singing to the daisy's?  I have three of them and they are so cute in the garden

Here is a small portion of my front porch.  Can you see my yard trotters sitting up there?  The chicken feeder was a gift from my granddaughter Kelly for Mothers Day in 2012.  Kelly is 10 years old and the love of my life.  She always gets me a chicken/rooster for Christmas and my Birthday's  which was last Friday. She got me a sun catcher rooster and a little rooster along with 2 pictures she painted.  Such a sweet little girl and quite the artist.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit today.  I look forward to hearing your comments.  I love to read them and what you have to say.
