Home Made Nectar For My Hummingbirds.

Tweet

I made some nectar today for my hummingbirds. Some of my feeders were empty and also needed to be cleaned, so I took care of the cleaning today. I made the nectar this evening and it’s cooling on the stove. I will refill all the clean feeders in the morning and put them back out. I love watching the little “Hummers.” I have four feeders hanging on a wrought-iron “tree” and its right in front of my living room window so I can see them as they come to the feeders. There are several and sometimes they fight with each other. I also have butterflies and wasps that try to get to the nectar. And now I have a beautiful hummingbird plant that a friend gave me. I planted it under the feeders and the vines are growing up the pole and wrapping around the “arms” that hold the feeders. There are small flowers growing all over the vine. I think I will try to get a picture of it tomorrow, when I get all the feeders back up. I will try to post the photo tomorrow. I hope this plant is a perennial so that it will come up every year. If not, I will definitely purchase another one next year and plant it right away.
