Hummingbirds’ Favorite

I’m always looking for plants and flowers that will keep the hummingbirds coming to the garden.
I found this succulent plant, Aloe Blue Elf, which is said to be a hummingbird’s favorite.
It’s an easy-care plant. It will bloom with small orange-red flowers on tall spikes. And I have been fortunate to see hummingbirds hovering around them, as well as butterflies, too.

I found this card featuring a lovely painting Azaleas by Elizabeth Parsons while going through an old file. It reminds me of this simple yet insightful advice:
“Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.” – George Carlin, or anonymous.
