Now imagine a ruby throated hummingbird checking out every bloom. That was the evening show in our garden last night! Of course, no camera in sight.

Just beautiful! Even better with a hummingbird visiting.

I didn't know this back in May when 'Coronation Anthem' started to bloom, but it is a rebloomer! I still have rebloom stalks with unopened buds on them. I'll easily have a month of bloom from this variety!

I love sibs that do that! Thanks for the tip - and the gorgeous pics.
