Really nice photos. I always recommend planting flowers for hummers. So is it a secret or are you going to tell us what plant this is?

Friends and family just couldn't understand why I let a big chunk of my yard be taken over but these weeds that grow 3 to 4 feet high in a thick cluster..... But then they bloomed and now it is payoff time....
The hummers love them.
Canon R5 ISO 2500 f/5.6 AV EF 300mm f/2.8 w/1.4 extender. Shot under an overcast sky from about 30 feet away, these are not much more than thumbnails.

It is Jewelweed also known in some parts as Touch Me Nots because the fruit of the plant bursts open at the slightest touch.... It is a wild plant here, I didn't plant them it comes up like a weed in my yard.

Wonderful payday, Geff! I’ve planted a few things this year to attract hummers and photos like these are what I aspire to achieve!

Beautiful photos. Congratulations on the Canon R5. A friend just bought one and loves it. Looks as if your decision on the plants made for successful photos.
