Well I tried to get a good picture. But this bird seemed to be determined to set a new record for most blossoms sampled in the least time. The 100-400 mk2 and the 80D are not slow focusing but they couldn't keep up with this bird. By the time they focused it had moved on. This is as close as I came to getting good sharp shot during the less than 2 minutes it was around the plant, and it must have sampled at least 12-15 blooms in that time. It did stay at one for about 10 seconds, but it was on the far side of the plant and all I could see was the top of its head and an occasional blurred wing tip.

But the flowers are just getting started and the other plant is getting buds also. More chances in the near future. I may set up with tripod and flash on high speed sync to catch them. And yes the flowers look weird, they were back lite and sort of glowing, I tried to tone them down to match the other colors and this was the result.
