good availability; Cuphea
Today's photo was taken 2 days ago at the sanctuary by Dan De Mato (DanielDeMatoPhotography.com). It shows a hummer feeding at Cuphea ignis "David Verity" (**), often known as cigar plant or firecracker (though many others also bear this name).
We have good upcomingavailability wed pm, thur am and pm. More slots will be posted very soon!
Incredible photo. That plant is fun. I just wish it could endure cold zones. I haven't heard back so I guess the slots filled up. I'll keep checking for a Sat afternoon slot. I'm looking forward to seeing a hummingbird for the first time in NY. Thanks so much for making this available to folks.
