Hummingbird magnet

Story, photos, and plant by Wayne Pridemore

The Crocosmia,"Lucifer," plant is a hummingbird magnet.

The plant in our front yard is in full bloom and the little hummers can't resist the scarlet-red blossoms.

The plant will produce blossoms most of the summer if the old blooms are removed to induce the growth of new ones.
