Jon, you are far too kind , thank you. Please do enter .
Lucky you to have so many hummingbirds. This year the numbers seem down for us ( I'm in south Louisiana).
The flower is called Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia). Very easy to grown . They also love Black and Blue Salvia, Porter Weed and Cigar Bush.
Do you photograph your hummingbirds ? It can become very addicting

Thanks Birdie...I will see what inspiration strikes me and try to come up with something for this week. And thanks for the flower recommendations. I will write these down and check our local nursery to see if I can find something they like besides sugar water. I have photographed them in the past with some big glass, but I've recently changed my gear and only have 2 lenses right now (16-35mm and 55mm). The 55mm will allow me to shoot them at the feeder right outside the kitchen window, but a hummingbird at a flower is far more attractive, as you have shown above.
