Excellent piece. I love your description of that reaction we have to hummingbirds. And I’m pleased to know the two Campsis radicans starts I planted at the base of my pergola will do well for the hummers!
I love trumpet vine, sounds like a pergola is a good place to plant one (or two). I had vines on my house once, and they nearly destroyed the gutters. But beautiful. I wonder how they grow in nature and what keeps them in check so that they don't bring down trees and such

Fascinating! I had no idea the diversity of the hummingbird diet. It makes so much sense that they consume insects, but 80% of the diet!
I will for sure have to plant more with hummingbirds in mind this spring.
the amount of insects in hummingbird's diet was a revelation to me as well!
