Penstemon sp. |
Pentas sp. |
Trumpet or Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens) |
|
| The blossoms above illustrate the power of red and orange when it comes to attracting hummingbirds. Although not all red flowers are good nectar sources, shades of red contrast sharply with the green of vegetation and at least cause the hummer to investigate. All photos were taken by Dwayne Martin in the Hummingbird Garden of Dwayne and Lori Martin in Claremont, North Carolina. Penstemon, or Beard-Tongue, blooms from mid-summer until mid-fall. Red Pentas (from Africa) is an annual that blooms late spring until frost. Coral Honeysuckle, a native available in several horticutural varieties, blooms from mid-spring till mid-fall. | |
