The Attraction of Red


My early Sunday morning walk at the garden yielded a new plant that I hadn't noticed before.  It's either a tree or a shrub with these amazing brilliant red blooms on it.  If you look closely, you'll see a hummingbird in there among the bright blooms.


In fact, there was quite a lot of hummingbird activity around this red beauty.

  3. I think it's a coral bean, if I'm not mistaken. The beans are supposed to be poisonous, but clearly not the flowers!

  4. Looks like chilis! Love that hummingbird! But it needs a home, like the home I showed today! :)

  7. You got some nice pictures of this little jewel. One time I was working in the yard and had a red hat on and I had three of them checking out the hat.

  9. How beautiful. And I can't get over how well that humming bird is camouflaged.

  16. The hummingbirds must find that vivid red to be very seductive

  19. Good job! It is hard to catch a hummingbird. They seem to be in constant motion.
