Lantana camara. They are attracted to the orange/red ones best. Also, best if you keep them in pots. They say they can be evasive . . . can't be anymore evasive than our neighbors bamboo, but better to be safe than sorry. The plants not good for cows either. "Hay" you, never know who's reading this.
We have Lupines and they appear to like the petunia in the hanging boxes. Whatever hanging plants we put up they seem to like. The purple dancing ladies is one of the plants we had last year and they loved it too. I think it is a fuchsia. I can't remember all the other flowers because there are so many. I think I hit on all the hummingbird attractors. And the other photo, I'm drawing a blank but they love them.
Being that we live here year round, it's easier to maintain the flowers. It's a daily ritual that I enjoy. The hummingbirds just float right in front of you and off they go for a drink.
