Love your info on hummingbirds! I recently found out most of their diet is actually insects after I found them swarming gnats/fruit flies from my compost bin, such lovely creatures for the garden.
Wow! I LOVE your garden!!! I'm envious. I'm on a new property in Northeast Texas zone 8a. I'm looking forward to developing a new hummingbird garden this year 😀
You have an amazing garden. Thanks for sharing. I planted Spanish Flag late June in zone 7. Not sure if it will bloom this year. If not , I will try again next. year
I just love my Hummingbirds. I just set in the gardens and watch them, so peaceful. Also watch the Finches, so many different sunflowers now. This year started a couple that are supposed to be a very deep purple or black, excited to see how they turn out. Subscribed and hit the bell. Thank you 🌻
Thank you Connie ! Are you saying there is a purple/ black strain of sunflower now ? I planted a large selection of sunflowers this year and they are all blooming up . I’m thinking about doing a sunflower video!
@@stephenbahrmarbles Yes, my sister in law found a seed pkg. in Ohio and I started them. She took 5 plants and I got five. They are mixed in with the yellow and brownish yellow plants now. Soooooo I am patiently waiting for one to open. The others are starting to open. I am pretty sure she got the pkg from Menards in Toledo. Should have gotten 2 or 3 pkg. 🙄 If one opens and I can figure out how to, I will send you s picture.
Here I am in the beginning of December watching this video again for preparation of next spring. I hope to learn a little bit from your videos, but unfortunately my memory is horrible from medications that I am on.
You mention the name of the orange and yellow vine at 1:08 but I can’t understand the name… I am not familiar with the plant and would love to add it to my back yard. What is that beautiful thing?
Hi there - I’ve been watching your hummingbird videos all morning on this dreary January day, planning for the spring!! Your garden is truly magical and inspirational. Have you had any success growing vines together?? For instance two different honeysuckle vines or one early blooming, one later blooming? Or one perennial, one annual?
Hi Urchin thank you ! Yes Spring is coming quickly! I almost always let my annual vines grow on the perennials , and let the perennials act as a trellis, they really don’t seem to mind. I have a couple of different varieties of Loniceras growing together but they are still young. I don’t think they will mind either as long as there’s structure for the both of them. Good luck this season!🌱
@@stephenbahrmarbles Thank-you!! That’s a great idea! I have some English Ivy growing up my fence, I can plant some purple hyacinth vines or similar there💡 😃 I’m also planning on growing a honeysuckle or two outside my sunroom - my nursery has Alabama crimson in stock and also Dropmore scarlet - do you happen to have any opinion of which the hummers (and me) would prefer? Zone 7A northern virginia (my tree form SHOAL CREEK VITEX is my #1 pollinator plant)
Ok cool ✅ I don’t have any experience with dropmore but I’m sure it will attract them. Alabama crimson will 100% draw them in . Try to thin out you Ivy as much as possible, it’s not really beneficial to any of the pollinators and it is very aggressive (that’s just my opinion ) best of luck!
Hi Geri . The Loniceras are berry producers . Young plants and cuttings are the only way to get or purchase them from what I’ve seen . If you live in Barbados you should have a very large selection of plants that will attract hummingbirds, there are tons of tropical plants that should work for you .
@@stephenbahrmarbles thanks but some of the best but limited plants for pollinators are very invasive like Corlita/ coral vine. That's why I was reaching out for suggestions plus some of your flowers featured are fragrant even in the day.
Try to go to the Andromeda Botanical Gardens and ask what they recommend there for your local hummingbirds . Perhaps you could get some of their seeds or cuttings.
@@stephenbahrmarbles thanks Stephen that's a great idea I'll try that the curator there Sharon is really pleasant & knowledgeable I'm sure she'll be able to help with some suggestions & tell me what Hummingbirds are on island. I'll keep you posted.
Red hot Poker plants - (small/ baby) are available at all online nursery shops - Springhill Nursery/ Michigan bulb company/ High Country gardens/ Bluestone Perennials/ Wayside gardens etc. They are taking fall planting orders now.
I have found some of my old marbles i believe some of them could be quit rare but i could be totally wrong iv seen the identification video but im still little confused could i send u some images to help me identify them and there rarity if u cant it’s totally fine

I just dumped a bunch of pots into my yard waste bin last night and couldn't remember what was supposed to be saved due to being perennial, so I just dumped everything. It's very frustrating to have no memory. It is what it is.

I noticed you have a huge hydrangea bush. do you hummers have any interest in those flowers?
You mention the name of the orange and yellow vine at 1:08 but I can’t understand the name… I am not familiar with the plant and would love to add it to my back yard. What is that beautiful thing?
Never mind, you covered that vine later in the video!
Yes Mina Lobata , one of the very best annuals for hummingbirds ✅

I’ll have to look up that Shoal Creek plant, thank you for the tip !
Fabulous where can I get seeds for these especially the different varieties of honeysuckle?

I want to plant paw paw now for cat birds. They look like unripe mangos.
Hi Stephen,
Where is a good place to get seeds for Red Hot Fire Poker? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your reply Stephen. I'm just seeing it now for some reason. I appreciate your response. Take care.

I'm not too far away from you bud. I'm up in Massachusetts.

@@LeoRousseau I have pollinator gardens in Massachusetts which attracts native bees, birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. You will do fine planting.
