Trumpet Vine and Hummingbirds. Where are the Hummers?
We saw the first visitor to the feeder in mid-May but none lately.
Years ago we began planting every bush and plant that was known to attract humming birds to our yard. This trumpet vine has grown quite large and is a beacon to these fascinating birds.

The trumpets are blooming and the feeders are full but where are the hummers?
Trumpet Vine and Hummingbirds
We have both a yellow and an orange variety of trumpet vine growing along each side of an arbor on the south side of out home.
The following photos of our Ruby-throated hummingbirds were taken a couple of years ago.
My friends are not seeing hummers at their homes either.
Hopefully the activity of birds zooming back and forth from feeder to flower will soon fill me with delight and excitement!

With all the beautiful trumpet vines, they are sure to turn up soon. I live in californis and we have these wonderful fellows all year round. It's the hooded orioles we watch for every Spring. This is my first time to your blog. Thanks for sharing!
The trumpet vines are beautiful! I'd love those in my yard. I hope the hummers come back soon ~ they look so sweet in your photos!
What a beautiful trumpet vine. I sure hope your hummers show up soon. What fabulous photos of them from a few years ago! ~ Tracy

Really great outdoor pictures.

Just noticed the recipes on your sidebar. What a great idea! I can't wait to try some.
It's nice to find a blog with beautiful pictures and inspiring words that's not written by a 20yo (although I love 20yo's – I have several myself!)
I love to see hummingbirds too… Up at my dad's in northern Wisconsin, they come pretty frequently.
Beautiful blooms too!
Blessings & Aloha!
thank you so much for stopping by :o)
I am so lucky being in California, we have hummers year round. Even when I cannot 'see' them, I hear their unmistakeable sound. Hope yours come back real soon. They are such a delight. And your trumpet vine is beautiful ♥

Your trumpet vines are gorgeous. I saw a hummer at our neighbor's feeder, but we don't have any out this year…makes me want to, though!!!
I just bought a plant the other day that is supposed to attract humming birds and I also got a feeder. As of yet I haven't seen any. Sure hope they start showing up, I love seeing those little birds.
Beautiful pictures. I love the trumpet vine!
I have not seen orange trumpet flowers! They are bright and beautiful. I have seen a lot of pink ones.
The hummingbird photos are cute!
we had a ton of hummingbirds this last two months, but now they have disappeared, supposing they are tending to their babies.. Our hummingbirds give birth in March and then June and then they are scarcely seen… i love your pics
Oh, I hope the hummers show up soon! Every plant you have should make them feel so welcome, they are beautiful! I know they will be zooming by soon! Great photographs, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful pictures of both the flowers and the hummingbirds. I think the last hummingbird (with red neck) is called Anna's hummingbird.
My NC blog friend, Betsy, and I were discussing a lack of hummers this year. I did see one on a hosta bloom today, but not much activity at all this Spring. Your trumpet blooms are so pretty. John and I drove by the very first house we lived in and our trumpet vine was so big and full of blooms. We do not have one where we are now so I enjoyed your photos.
