Visitor

Stole a picture of this helpful garden friend as she sipped nectar from Scarlet Runner blossoms. In addition to bees and other insects, hummingbirds play an important role in flower pollination. They are particularly attracted to flowers on the red side of the color spectrum (red, orange, pink), which is something I didn't consider at all when I planted the seeds. What an unexpected surprise.
