Hi Nancy! I have lots of hummers- and I find they will go after/investigate
just about every flower. Right now they like my phlox, loved the Thalictrum,
they would sit on the stems, petunias, I know i have a list of hummer
flowers, just can't find it right now. The flowers don't have to be tubular.
Suite 101 has a Butterfly and Hummingbird Gardening site, another is
www.gardenguides.com, or just run a search on hummingbird plants. Lots of
information out there. Hope this helps. Robin
