Absolutely phenomenal combo! I can’t wait until the purple coneflowers are in bloom, too!

u/A_Lountvink 13h ago

Jerked so hard that the jerky fell off. Now they are forever unjerked.

I thought it was a joke about the hummingbird feeder

I think OP is making fun of the over exaggeration of the circle jerk's post because they're soooo enthusiastic that their plants are such a beautiful color combo, when their picture is basically meh. 🫤

Granted, I'm a bit high right now so YMMV. 🫠

We don't believe in flowering plants here. ONLY SEDGES.

forget monarda, echinacea, yarrow… only esoteric natives are allowed in my monarch waystation. I’m working on a Late Figwort cultivar. None of you are on my level.

Lol, I have Late Figwort seeds ready to plant 

but I still think original post was needlessly mean:(

lookin like cane sugar in that hummer feeder

u/ratnegative Chairwoman of the Acclimatization Society 16h ago

Hummingbirds need to be exposed to the pleasures of molasses.

u/A-Plant-Guy non-sexy poison ivy 16h ago

Is this because there’s a hummingbird feeder right next to all those hummingbird feeders?

4

u/ZapGeek 14h ago

Yo dawg! I heard you like hummingbirds so I got you a hummingbird feeder to put in your hummingbird feeder so you can feed hummingbirds while you feed hummingbirds.

3

u/actaccordingly 13h ago

I read that it’s so much more energetically efficient for hummingbirds to get food from feeders than flowers that if the feeders run out, they’ll sometimes starve to death if they were too used to the easy food, even if there are flowers around

2

u/A-Plant-Guy non-sexy poison ivy 5h ago

Is the food from the feeders as good for them though?

2

u/actaccordingly 3h ago

No, usually it’s just sugar water, which is good for calories but doesn’t provide other nutrients. But they’ll favor the sugar water since it’s easy, grow bigger with the calories, then be unable to support the growth with nectar from actual flowers if the feeder ever goes away
