How to attract hummingbirds

I had such a wonderful response to an earlier question that I decided to ask another. What plants/bushes native to Florida's gulf coast will attract hummingbirds? Simply hanging feeders hasn't proven successful.

Front Flower Bed, Need Ideas Please

I had a small dogwood tree here and the winter got it after 10 yrs. I would love something like that or another small blooming tree that would do well in full hot sun in the summer, No shade here.

    gals at Round Valley told me about that, where I bought the bushes. You can also let your banana peels completely dry till they are crispy dry. Cut them in 1 inch pieces and bury them around your rose bushes, gives them nutrients and helps them bloom. Enjoy your coffee and be sure to stop and smell the roses. Peaceful, joyful, happy, thats how the flowers make me feel.............

Use Your Left Over Potato Water in the Garden.

Don't throw out that left over potato water. Put it to use in the garden. Be sure it is unsalted (salted water will hurt your plants.)

Pour it on the garden near your plants.Starchy potato water will spur the release of plant nutrients in the soil so it makes a great addition. (plants like starch better than your figure does!)

    I use it in my sprayers and seems to work for most of my yard also.

    I'm going to try it tomorrow because I've noticed a lot of baby grasshoppers and hope this deters them from devouring the lawn.
