You are a lucky gardener, indeed! Wonderful photos and thanks for the info about planting. I do have a morning glory that finally bloomed, some lantana and a few bright, brave annuals...so I'll keep watching.
Also, thanks for 'following my blog'--it made me very happy to know someone would want to include me.
How lovely - we don't get hummingbirds here. I would love to see one - so thanks for the photos!!
