Rita, I don't put up hummer feeders either, but I do plant flowers to attract them. I don't see as many of them as my friends with feeders, but I see plenty enough. Larkspur in spring, bee balm and crocosmia in summer and tall species of salvia season-long seem to be their favorites.

(As I sit here at the computer, I am watching a female feed on the impatience in one of the flower boxes on the proch rail.)
