No, I haven't. But the flowers aren't directly in view. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Hey Allan, I have a yellow iris plant, too, and yesterday I saw a hummingbird flitting around it trying to drink the nectar. He stayed for about a minute and then flew off. Im hoping hell come back but I havent seen him since. The irises are right outside my back door, so its easy to monitor. Have you ever seen a hummingbird near your flowers?

His warm buttery yellows
Are nestled comfortably
Upon dark basement blues
While vivid greens push
Beautiful colors skyward
