Are you one of those people who enjoys nature? Do you get excited when you see hummingbirds and butterflies? There is nothing more pleasing than the sound of hummingbirds humming on a sunny, summer afternoon. Many of us will buy expensive feeders with the red nectar to attract hummingbirds. Why not attract them with something more natural, something that both you and the hummingbirds can enjoy? Make your landscaping a home for nature’s beautiful creatures!  Included below are lists and photos of plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
