I like the fact that their perfume draw a lot of these little guys to the hosta gardens!

And I know there are those that cut down the flowers, but these are so prolific and smell so strong, I can't imagine not keeping them!

Lovely photos! One of my favorites this year too.

I had 2 hummingbirds chasing each other around mine yesterday. I wish I had the camera, but it was raining.
I currently have mine growing in a pot. Couldn't decide if I really wanted it or not, but now after seeing the flowers and knowing the hummers like it, I have to find a place in the garden for it.

I was given a 3 or 4 eye clump of Royal Standard back in 1988. I now have clumps of them all over the yard. I haven't had a chance to sniff their divine fragrance yet this year, since I have a head cold and can't smell a thing. However, they are all blooming nicely.
