There is something almost magical about the tiny little Hummingbird. They are such a small little bundle of energy with the capability of beating their little wings around 90 times in one second. I'm always thrilled, as I'm sure most people are, when I encounter one of these diminutive creatures of nature. Such a beautiful curiosity to behold! Do you know that there certain colors that attract these miniature birds to an area?
If you enjoy seeing one of nature's tiniest of birds, you can create a habitat that encourages them to come visit you on a daily basis. Many people think that they can just hang a hummingbird feeder out and that will do the trick. I'm afraid most will be disappointed with the results. I found an article by ElizabethJeanAllen that gives really great advice on how to Plant A Hummingbird Garden. You will find very good suggestions on what types of flowers to have in your garden and how long your blooming season should be. It is most probably longer than you would imagine. Elizabeth also shares other tips for attracting the remarkable little hummingbird to your home. She explains about the water needs and other plants that are needed to be inviting to hummingbirds. You will find that although small in stature this bird is one of the pickiest birds around.
I invite you to visit this wonderful article that is not only informative on the proper things to have in your Hummingbird Garden, but also the visual appeal of the article itself. ElizabethJean Allen has created a colorful display that will delight your eyes almost as much as seeing a garden full of hummingbirds. You will delight in the pleasing way she shares her knowledge in creating a habitat that should bring you joy for years to come.

You sure found a great one to write about, Bev. ElizabethJeanAllen's hummingbird lens is full of helpful content and has a thoughtful and beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that it is a beautiful lens. And, good timing as people get ready to plant their gardens for the summer. I can't wait to see the hummingbirds visit my hanging pink fuschias.

This will surely be helpful next year when I hope to plant some flowers. I love hummingbirds and they will be a bonus in my garden.

I'm captivated by hummingbirds, they are such beautiful creatures and it would be a thrill to see them in the wild as you all do. I may not be able to plant my own hummingbird garden but I enjoyed finding how it's done on this glorious lens.

Thanks so much for reviewing my lens. I've been off line (working in the garden) and didn't see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I really appreciate it.
