Looks a lot like the flowers on our Aloe plant.
Yep and the humming birds love them.
Ahhh…we’ll have to move it out to where the hummers can get to it.
I put up a feeder for them, but first the ants found it, but at least it kept them lured out of the house, and then the BEES found it, and it looked like a beehive!
They completely drained it in about three hours. The bees were so dense around it that I had to wait until after dark to take it down!
Poor hummers….lost their “Free Lunch”!
The ants found mine also, they were inside drowned.
