    The orange flowers are Trumpet Vine. Yes, hummingbirds do like them, but sometimes the little guys lose their lives in them. Their bill gets stuck. Trumpet vines are gorgeous, but if uncontrolled, they become invasive.

    I love the "purple" Iris! BEAUTIFUL!

    Those are not bleeding hearts. Not sure what they are, offhand, but they could be in the pea family.

    Gorgeous, love the hostas, we have tons of them in our yard!

    My fav too is the purple Iris. All very beautiful, lucky you Kay.

    Kay, the 3rd one, I think it was the Purple Iris, is so brilliant! These are lovely, you are so lucky, only my daises have bloomed thus far, the late frost delay. Of course, now it is 80 degrees and everything should bloom all at once! (I hope!) cheers ;)

    Your yard must be beautiful! I love seeing flowers blooming again...just have to keep the darn deer away from mine. :)

    Gorgeous! I think the first flowers are azaelas (Not sure I spelled that correctly.)

    The purple iris reads blue on my computer. Still stunning! The next to last green-and-white leafy cluster is hosta. Hosta is the only plant I can grow!
