Thanks Flaira! Glad you like them!

Great video! Also, excellent photography with beautiful backgrounds. Those plants are also good for other pollinators such as butterflies and bees. Gorgeous yard!

Thank you very much!

Great job! Bee balm and crocosmias are their favourites in my garden. They also like hostas when they’re in bloom.

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

Thank You!

You should have most of the flowers for your backyard friends. Nice shot for the lovely birds and flowers, so colorful😍😍

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

Thanks Karen! I have 10 out of 12 in my backyard. Hummingbirds fly from one bush to the other. Sometimes it is not easy to follow them.

[@MrMccoy2412]

Awesome video!! They absolutely love Salvia Guaranitica also!! Black and Blue Salvia!!

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

[@mumumumu9256]

I really enjoyed the clip you made. Excellent job! You must have a huge yard for all the plants. Wondered how you coordinated the plants and the hummingbird feeders.

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

Thank you very much! Some are perennial plants and some are annual. I move the annual ones around near the feeders when filming.

[@ThomasYeemailme]

Wow, great video Lily! Do you have all 12 of the exotic flowers growing in your backyard?

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

I have 10 of them in my backyard and the other two are in Rosetta McClain Garden....haha

[@ivyandroses25]

I don't know what Zone you're in but PLEASEEEE don't encourage others to plant Trumpet Creeper/Vine. It's SO INVASIVE! Seriously, it's a nightmare. It was planted at our current home and I think I may never get rid of it. Agastache or Weigela would be better as a substitute.

[@MisterPerson-fk1tx]

I got my head bitten off for wanting a wisteria. So being the difficult person I am, I got a trumpet vine too. The closest thing besides lawn is my house and I don't want it on that so wish me luck fighting weeds. Hopefully they'll spend their effort fighting each other.

[@pamelah6431]

They like catmint, too. Unfortunately, a lot of the plants in this video are aggressive, non-natives. As much as possible, provide native plants! Columbines are a huge hit, for sure.

[@lilywongbirdsnature3644]

Thanks for the info!

[@user-jk2hb5qq8r]

Why show it eatting so long on one flower?

[@lf4061]

I actually really enjoyed that myself.

The silly music adds only noise pollution.
