Why are gardeners always discussing which trees and other plants are best for attracting hummingbirds? Well, gardening and bird watching are siblings among the passions. There may be a few plant lovers who are not also bird lovers (and vice versa), but they're strictly anomalies.
For most gardeners, there's no better way to double your pleasure than to be admiring a favorite plant and have a hummingbird buzz around it at that very same instant. Indeed, the most beloved bird among gardeners may be the hummingbird. "I love how they zip around the yard and come to investigate if I am working near their favored plants," scribes Vanessa Richins.
