If the images do not load, please reload the page. Flickr seems to be having problems.

The hummingbirds were buzzing around the flowers in bloom.

Do you recognize any of the flowers? Embarrassed to have them bloom every year without knowing what they are. Please comment if you recognize any.

Auntie Marcy gave a tip that led to another flower to be identified. The orange flower is called a: Hummingbird Trumpet Blossom.

It just happened to on a recent set of stamps released by the USPS:
