    The little hummingbirds seem uniquely suited to hovering and finding the tiny amounts of nectar in each ruby flower. Bon Appétit!

    Oh, if there is a heaven, I hope the hummers are there! But , of course, they will be. The question is, will I get there?!!

    A very pretty flower that so looks as if it is displaying silken threads.
