Back  about the 4th of July, I had blooming hostas in my front yard, and 
although  I've never seen a hummingbird visit them, I've heard from others that 
the  hummers like them. 


Hi Pete,
 I have a late blooming hosta (in bloom now) which the hummers, or one  in 
particular, seem to like. I watched a few days ago as a young male sipped  
nectar from it, then perched on the flower stalks. He alternated between these  two 
activities most of the afternoon. Now I can spot him regularly because he  
also perches on the thin wire from a hanging flower basket in the garden. He is  
a very aggressive bird, driving off even the adult male in the yard.
 
Fill your feeders folks,
