Russelia equisetiformis and hummingbirds

After a long period of unavailability, we recently re-acquired Russelia equisetiformis (most of the genus seems to be called firecracker plant).
Not only were we able to get Russelia equisetiformis, but they also had Russelia equisetiformis lutea ...with pale yellowish creamy colored flowers. We bought that as well. But I don't see many pics online of hummingbirds on Russelia equisetiformis lutea . Does anyone have experience with that plant? I know hummingbirds use the normal red-flowered type. I just can't find anything showing use of Russelia equisetiformis lutea .
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
