Ann, there was one that didn't care what I wore. If I walked by that porterweed, he was in my face. The ones I've had in the last few years have been much less willing to tolerate my presence. I told this story last year on the hummingbird thread, but here it is again. Last year about this time, most of my bromeliads were blooming in the circle part of our driveway. Mom and I watched as a hummingbird went around and hit up every single bloom! I went back inside to get my camera to see if it would come back eventually. I sat in my car and waited and waited. It came back but I scared it the first time. Finally, it reappeared and I got some photos. But that was after two hours of waiting! And in the meantime, my feet got a little sunburned so now I still have tan lines in the shape of my sandals. Rolling on the floor laughing But it was totally worth it.
