In 2004, we dug up half of our back yard and planted a hummingbird / butterfly garden. Since that time, the Ruby-Throated traffic to our small, urban yard has increased significantly and seems to increase on an annual basis. We've experimented with a number of nectar-producing plants and I've tried to organize this gallery to represent various flowering plants that have proven very successful in attracting hummingbirds to our midwestern garden.
