I think that flower could swallow the Hummingbird whole. Excellent work Ian.

Your hummingbirds should teach mine the right way. Within 5 feet of the feeder I have pink, red, purple, white flowers but they hardly ever pay attention. Either drinking from the feeder, or body-slamming each other, is all they do :-(

BTW, photographically speaking, well done, Ian. I enjoy the whole set.

LOL, nope not me. Gotta love Asiatic lilies Rog, stick em in the ground and leave them alone.

Thanks very much Duane. Not only are the flowers a good size, the plant itself is about 6 1/2 feet tall.

Much appreciated Linh. Today was the first day I have noticed them paying any attention to the lilies. Maybe they have to reach a certain stage before there's enough nectar, or pollen, or whatever it is they're after.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
