With reforms to its 2005 immigrant integration law and the unveiling of a National Integration Plan, Germany expects to improve integration and come closer to the European Union's Common Basic Principles on immigrant integration. MPI's Eric Leise reports.
Although most Latin Americans head to North America, the increasing flow of people from Latin America to Southern Europe reflects colonial and historical patterns as well as new economic opportunities. Beatriz Padilla and João Peixoto examine various data that show the region's popularity.
Vlaams Belang, a far-right party known for its nationalism and anti-immigrant position, lost one seat in Belgium's parliament in the June 10 national elections. Laura Barker examines the party's use of the immigration issue and reactions to its politics.
Since 2000, Spanish authorities have used a technology-driven system for detecting and apprehending migrants attempting to reach Spanish territory by boat. Jørgen Carling of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo explains how smugglers have responded and why illegal migration to Spain continues.
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who announced his resignation this week, leaves behind an immigration system that has been fundamentally reshaped. As MPI's Will Somerville explains, migration is now "managed" to favor migrants coming for work and study.
Recent Activity
This policy brief explores two key policy issues at the center of the May 2004 enlargement of the European Union: the potential for migration from the new Member States to the existing ones; and the need to develop a coherent immigration, asylum, and border control policy for the European Union.
Through a broad overview of key policy and legislation dating back to the early 1990s, this paper finds that despite persistent efforts to coordinate an EU level approach to asylum and refugee protection, the process has been severely stifled by the lack of a philosophical consensus between Member States as to what constitutes refugee protection in Europe and globally.
Recognizing the particular challenges to refugee protection faced on both sides of the Atlantic, this report questions whether strengthening resettlement programs in the U.S. and Europe can help to address ongoing concerns over security, the volume and diversity of migrants, the rise of right-wing parties and the role of the welfare state.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., EU officials issued a symbolic statement that the EU was prepared to receive Afghan refugees displaced from the looming American intervention. Despite internal policy tendencies to reject Afghan claims to protection and domestic security concerns, EU officials seemed to recognize at the time there was very little risk of a massive influx of Afghan refugees.
This report seeks to evaluate the extent to which expanding resettlement programs across the European Union can provide a strategic tool to manage a greater number of legal arrivals to EU Member States and whether Member States possess the political will to engage in resettlement.
This report seeks to understand the circumstances under which EU Member States are likely to engage in resettlement programs.The study promotes the development of a Common European International Protection System (CEIPS) as a means to incorporate resettlement, asylum and assistance in region of origin all under a single integrated agenda.
Amidst heightened security concerns in the post-9/11 world, this policy brief examines international responses to the Iraqi refugee situation and explores various tools that can effectively allow states to reconcile security efforts with the continued commitment to international protection.
In the immediate aftermath of September 11, the U.S. government committed to increasing national security through every possible avenue. Although the most effective measures to combat terrorism will inevitably rely on intelligence, certain immigration programs and procedures can contribute to better intelligence and enhanced security.

POLK CITY – The park manager at Big Creek State Park discovered a sewer line leak while looking for a leak in the water lines this morning.
The sewer leak is near the handicap fishing pier about a half mile from the beach on the east side of the lake.
Manager Chad Kelchen said the untreated wastewater traveled over ground about 100 yards. He estimates a maximum of 50 gallons reached the lake.
The line has been repaired. Kelchen will lime the ground this afternoon between the leak and the lake, but cautions people to avoid the area until the lime is down.

All Eyes on Shabbazz Muhammad
May 19, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Small forward Shabazz Muhammad of Bishop Gorman high school in Las Vegas, Nevada is virtually a unanimous national top-5 recruit in the boys' basketball class of 2012. That makes for a nice subjective analysis of his talent. But how about an objective measure of his abilities: he has no less than 16 big-time college scholarship offers, including offers from such elite programs as Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Memphis, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA, UNLV, and USC.
It was originally thought that the home town UNLV team would have long odds in securing Muhammad's services amongst the big boys that are after him. But those odds improved after Dave Rice was hired as UNLV's new men's basketball coach last month. Rice just happens to be the brother of Shabbazz's high school coach, Grant Rice. Shabbazz's father, Ron Holmes, heard the new coach speak and was impressed, and he told the Las Vegas Sun this his son will indeed take a recruiting trip to UNLV. "Without a doubt, UNLV will be right there," Holmes said of UNLV's chances to sign his son.
Muhammad averaged 25 points per game this past winter and was named the Sunset Region's Player of the Year. The 6 foot 6 inch wing player just may be the biggest recruit in Southern Nevada history, and that is saying something.

What Are The Very Best Hummer Attracting Plants In Your Garden? What works well for you?
Please list a couple of your favorites, as well as what zone you garden in (unless it's next to your name, of course)! Thanks. :) Happy Holiday Weekend! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by CHARANN102 z7PA (My Page) on Fri, Jul 1, 05 at 15:30
My red Bee Balm seems to attract them the best. Next to that the Lady in Red Salvia. I am in zone 7 - in Middletown, Pennsylvania. |
Monarda didyma 'Jacob Kline', Campsis radicans, Lobelia cardinalis and Impatiens capensis |
They visit lots of the flowers, but the ones I see the most are right outside my kitchen window, monarda Marshall's Delight. I don't have many red flowers but that doesn't seem to stop them. GD |
- Posted by AgastacheMan z9 CA (My Page) on Fri, Jul 1, 05 at 17:35
Agastache cana, barberi, "Tutti Frutti", aurantica, "Peaches n Cream", "Apricot Sprite", rupestris, and actually neomexicana "Lavender Haze"( they are very attracted, but very little nectar for them when they visit the neomexicana), Salvia- clevelandii, uglinosa, various forms of greggi, transylvanica, patens cultivars, coccinea, elegans "Scarlet Tangerine". |

Seems whatever genus produces those bright red plastic flowers on my feeder is #1 at the moment. LOL But other than that, I would say: 1.) Lonicera x heckrotti (Goldflame or 'Lemonade' honeysuckle) I have Salvia guarantica 'Black and Blue', Fuchsia magellanica 'Aurea', Heuchera x brizoides 'Firefly', Agastache 'Tutti Fruiti', a Stephanotis, and Jacob's Ladder 'Brise D'anjou' blooming at the moment but she hasn't checked these out yet from what I have observed so far, although I might have missed her trying them. My goldflame honeysuckle is budding up to bloom again so hopefully she'll go to it again. Also have a Bleeding Heart, "Wine and Roses" weigela, and an 'Edward LaPlante' tropical hibiscus, but haven't observed her trying these... As it is, the tropical hib hasn't gone into its full bloom cycle yet... Have some 'The President' cannas that are slowly growing and a pineapple sage that hasn't bloomed yet but is quickly growing, so it will be interesting to see what she does with those when the time comes. |

#1 jacob cline beebalm (monarda) after that, in no order, gartenmeister fuschia, pineapple sage, lady in red and black and blue. |
Here in zone 6 they like beebalm monarda "jacob cline" coral honeysuckle lonicera sempervirens "alabama crimson" "cedar lane" crossvine, bigonia capriolata, salvia greggii all varieties two penstemons pinafolius and barbutus, swamp and smooth azaleas. canada lily and iris fulva. and red buckeye and cardinal flower. Sarah |
Gartenmeister, Jacob Cline, and Black and Blue. |
- Posted by Coronabarb SoCA9b/sunset19 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 2, 05 at 1:13
Cape Honeysuckle, aganpanthus, lantana, and citrus |
- Posted by birdgardner NJ/ 6b (My Page) on Sat, Jul 2, 05 at 10:25
species-type cannas, salvia B&B, lobelia cardinalis - all late summer bloomers. earlier they like the lonicera sempervirens and heckrottii |
This is my first year for hummer plants (Zone 7). So far the pentas have been a big hit. They bloom non-stop. I have seen my lone hummer feeding on Salvia guaranictica 'Black & Blue', Torenia, and Bat-faced cuphea. The agastache 'Apricot Sprite' and monarda 'Jacob Cline' are just beginning to bloom, so I am anxious to see how well these are received. |
I have had positive experiences with alot of what has been previously mentioned.I would also like to add Cardinal Climber and Mina lobata vines to the mix, two very popular annual vines for the hummers here in NJ .Cuphea ignea is also a hot attractor here. -stephen |
I have many of the plants memtioned and I hope the hummingbrids are visiting them. It has been too hot for me to stay outside lately and see which ones are favorites. I have seen them at Black and Blue salva and Coral porterweed.. Right now one is at my feeder on the front porch. |
- Posted by dhickey389 z5 NE IL (My Page) on Sat, Jul 2, 05 at 16:30
Hi. Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) 'Jacob Kline', Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and salvia greggii "Maraschino" work the best for me in NW suburban Chicago. I also keep the feeder clean and filled. Dennis |
This year Jacob Kline, B&B, Salvia Purple Majesty, Gartenmeister Fuschia, streptocarpella, Crocosmia, Cuphea Bat Face, and last year Gold Fish plant and Rusellia - have not been able to find the later this year - Cardinal flower has not bloomed yet - and of course Pineapple Sage when in bloom. |
- Posted by birding_nut 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 3, 05 at 11:47
Zone 6: Western U.S. Penstemon barbatus (beard tongue penstemon) I have other Agastache that should be blooming for the first time soon, hopefully they will be as attractive. BN |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Sun, Jul 3, 05 at 12:24
Hands down.......crocosmia 'Lucifer' is the #1 choice in my yard. I have many other attractors and the hummers make the rounds...even to flowers I didn't think they'd pay attention to. So far, I haven't seen a hummer visit Black and Blue! This is the first year I've grown it and I still have hopes of seeing them discover it. All around the B&B I have various salvias blooming, especially a number of 'Lady in Red'. Patrick |
There was a huge fight over the crocosmia patch and the Lavender Lady passionvine this afternoon. Two Big Annas were going at each other breast to breast, falling on the ground and making their heckeling noises. While all this excitement was going on, a much smaller hummer flew to the top of the passionvine & kind of froze in place. The big guys never even saw her. As soon as the fighters chased each other away, the little hummer began to have a lovely repast. I love watching these funny little birds! Also popular at the moment: Joey |
- Posted by Patrick888 z8 SeaTac WA (My Page) on Mon, Jul 4, 05 at 11:40
Ok...gotta eat my words! Yesterday, I posted that I hadn't seen any activity at my B & B. Within a few hours, I saw it visited 2-3 times! Patrick |
Honeysuckle vine, orange trumpet vine, orange lillies, and they seem to love these coralbells a friend gave me. They are just a plain green Huchera with tiny pink flowers on the long stalk they put up. The humming birds work over every little flower |
My hummingbirds are very liberal minded. This is what we have in the back "sitting garden". Two four foot Fuschia Triphylla in pots under the eaves of the florida room, then an eight foot maple stump covered in coral honeysuckle. Next to that is a Black & Blue that is yet to bloom, some Cuphea Ignea, a couple of agastaches, three Salvia Microphilla San Carlos Festivals, three Salvia Wild Watermelon backed by a six foot tall patch of Salvia Uliginosa. Then there are several Salvia Coahielienses 'spelling', a Lantana Montevidensis, backed by a big patch of Salvia Coccinea, Stachys Coccinea, and a Salvia Transylvanica. The hummingbirds seem to work in patterns. On one visit they will hit the honeysuckle, fuschias, and cuphea. On another visit they work the bush sages and up into the Uliginosa, and on another the Salvia Coccinea. I have yet to see them hit the just opening Agastache Tuffi Frutti or any of the other agastaches. And I have yet to seem them at the stachys, although that may be because they are behind all the other plants so I can't see what's happening. The only thing that they consistently will not visit is the feeder. |
I had a red yucca that they loved. Sorry, don't know the official name of it. It had small red flowers, not at all like the regular yucca flowers. I've also had red hanging vine gernaniums that were popular when I lived in MD. Deb in PA |
- Posted by birdgardner NJ/ 6b (My Page) on Tue, Jul 5, 05 at 17:15
Deb, where were you when you were growing the red yucca? Mine hardly grew at all in a pot last year, and it isn't growing worth a darn in the ground this year. Just sitting there, and no sign of flowers. Lisa |
- Posted by RichardZone7Maryland (My Page) on Tue, Jul 5, 05 at 18:23
The lobelia cardinalis works the best for me. I keep trying others but the lobelia cardinalis works the best. I keep trying red bee balm, but in ten years I have never seen any hummers at the bee balm. But the bee balm looks so nice I just went and bought a large pot of it yesterday. Richard |
- Posted by TexasPuddyPrint Z9 S Tip of TX (My Page) on Wed, Jul 6, 05 at 22:58
(1) Firebush (hamelia patens) (2) Duranta purple sky flower (duranta erecta or duranta repens). (3) Orange trumpet vine/bush (campsis radicans) - I have seen them fighting over this in the neighbor's yard. ~ Cat |
Well normally I would say that the number one plant for me is Salvia Guaranitica Black and Blue then followed by the plants that everyone else has already mentioned. HOWEVER, this year except for a few odd visits to a few plants they are almost using the feeders exclusively. They have made a visit or two to the Jacob's Kline Bee Balm (Monarda), the Salvia Black & Blue, Salvia Lady in Red, coral honeysuckle, Salvia Dreamsicle, and Fuschia Gartenmeister but that has been about it. Penny |

I'm in the very south end of zone 6 near the MD/PA line and I have seen the hummers already in my gardens feeding from the wild monarda that is blooming and testing (of all things) impatiens. Most of my salvias are just beginning to bloom so they should have more to feed from in the next week or so. spiderwoman |
- Posted by tracey_nj6 6 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 12, 06 at 16:37
Monarda "Jacob Cline" frequently & "Marshall's Delight" occasionally Salvia, B&B Salvia splendens, Yvonne's Salvia coccinea, "Forest Fire" (witnessed a few visits) Agastache cana Fuchsia, hanging basket, haven't a clue as to what variety Ipomopsis, Standing Cypress (I think that's what it's called) Ipomoea coccinea, "Orange Noah" (Morning Glory) Ipomoea quamoclit, Cypress Vine Ipomoea lobata, Mina Lobata/Firecracker Vine (a big hit with the migrators, not really my regulars though) Lychnis chalcedonica, Maltese Cross (DH witnessed more feedings from this one than I did) I did just purchase a Coral Honeysuckle, but haven't a clue as to where I'm going to put it!!! |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 12, 06 at 20:33
Tracey - I'm glad you brought this back to the top. I'm sure there's some more plants I need to get. lol I planted a couple Forest Fires last year and then got several seedlings from them that grew large enough to bloom before the end of the season. I haven't found any seedlings coming up this year though and I thought I would have dozens. Maybe it's just too early. Do you have seedlings yet? My best hummingbird plant so far is my species salvia guaranitica. Other plants I've had are s. Black and Blue, a couple different s. greggiis, monarda 'Marshall's delight, butterfly bush 'Pink Delight', various columbines and the s. Forest Fire that I mentioned above. Last year was the first year for my mimosa tree to bloom (yes I know it's going to reseed everywhere and I really should cut it down) and I also have trumpet vine growing in my fencerow that I try to keep small (not working). |
I'm in the K-W area in Ontario and Crocosmia 'Lucifer' is by far their favourite flower in my gardens. They also love my hostas, monarda and kniphofia. Lizzy |

Lady in Red Salivia here As well as my red petunias (unsure of variety) My Russian Sage also does a booming business I've not yet tried B&B salvia, but I'm hoping to find some to try this year. |

From zone 10 in Southern California (Sunset Zone 24 - no winter freeze) a tiny, mostly shady garden. Abutilon 'Marion Stewart(?)' , salvia 'Waverly' and fuchsia arborescens are the preferred plants. They are the first stops when the hummingbirds enter our back yard. Also, an unidentified standard fuchsia - if untrimmed can reach 6' - with single flowers - is a favorite, as is galvezia speciosa, Island Snapdragon. Before the salvia spathacea succumbed to shade and damp, it attracted the hummers. The hummers are less interested in iochroma cyaneum than I thought they would be, but it's a gorgeous plant anyway. It's next to one of the fuchsia arborescens, and so gets cursory visits as the next offering in line at the nectar buffet, and then back for second helpings at the large abutilon shrub. One year, before the neighbor's remodel shaded my fence, I planted ipomoea quamoclit, Cypress Vine and mina lobata/Firecracker Vine. I don't remember that these vines attracted the hummers - maybe because there was less growing in the yard to attract them, and it wasn't on their daily route. |
Last year my tiny friends absolutely adored my Liatris spicata 'Kobold' and a lone sweet pea vine - they also were attracted to my butterfly bushes, monarda, lantana, and one small sunflower (just to stop a rest though!!). I've planted many more supposed attracters this year, including columbine. I found the link listed below which I believe is more focused on ruby-throats than others. Cheers! Jenn |

Galveston Island, zone 9b, semi-tropical Thevetia peruviana-yellow oleander-the overall winner in my yard. Shrimp plant Oleander nerium Passifloras The pecan tree when blooming. Cross vine Salvia They also seem to love the banana blooms!! Someone had posted about hummers seeming to like toxic plants and I notice in my yard those do seem to be their favorites-of course they are also some of my heaviest bloomers so.. Tally HO! |

beachplant - that's interesting about the oleander because I wondered about that last year myself. I saw my hummers over by my potted 'Hardy Red' (it was blooming most of the summer) and wasn't sure whether they were just attracted to the flower color or whether there was actually nectar in them they felt was worth sampling. |
It is great that someone has resurrected this thread. It definately should be here every spring with as many posts as possible. It is difficult to find most of these plants in my area. And, I visit nurseries just to window shop! Last summer I found that my hummers loved a few plants and had only passing interest in my feeder. I had one dominant resident female who loved: Agastache Tutti Frutti This year I will have all of the above and have added a Jacob Cline Monarda and a Mandarin Honeysuckle. I don't know much about the Mandarin Honeysuckle except that it didn't bloom late last year when I got it as a gift. I noted a great deal of activity around the mature Dwarf Alberta Spruces. The fine foliage (needles) are home to many small spider webs which provide food and nesting material. Last year, probably the first 10 sitings were at these trees. At the time, I had no idea why. |
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 18, 06 at 19:27
Harry - it took my Mandarin 3 years before it bloomed (last year was the first time). I originally bought it as a 1-gallon baby. It is budding up for a bloom right now. |
For me the number one plant that they love is Salvia Leucantha. They also love the following: Salvia Waverly I have not had much luck w/ my Black and Blue. Great thread ... thanks! |
I will revive this thread. My most used plants are cuphea llavae or "Bat-faced cuphea", Salvia Black and Blue, Justica or "shrimp plant", s. Greggii, Tritoma or "Red Hot Poker", Bee-balm, and Cascade Red Geraniums. |
Great. For some this may become tedious, but for newbies this information in too valuable to miss. At this time of year, nurseries are full of plants and shopping can be so confusing. Is there a notable difference on the west coast? Difference between preferences of Ruby Throated and other varieties? My list is still pretty much the same as above. The Jacob Cline Monarda is my best attractant. I have also been able to find Greggii type salvias and agastache locally which work well. |

Just though I would add my two cents for my area and I might say these top 5 could be interchangable. coral honeysuckle |
Scarlet sage, indian shot canna and cypress vine are their favorites in my yard. None are blooming yet of course but the hummers are hitting the feeders regularly. |
My hummingbirds love my rose of sharon, zinnias, hosta, and penstamon (red blooms) |
- Posted by abitaqueenbee 7 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 21, 12 at 14:51
Pineapple Sage! start one early spring and by late summer- early fall you will have a 4'tall bouquet of red blooms with hummers all over it. |
Blue butterfly delphinium and tango hyssop! My hummers discovered the tall delphinium in only a few minutes! And they fight butterflies for the hyssop! |

I have a lot of different plants that hummers use in my mid-west region but If I could only have one plant in my garden it would be: salvia guaranitica blue ensign[the mature height and spread of this guy is easily 5ft plus]. |
They absolutely love my patriot watermelon zonal geranium. I took cuttings from it so I could have more geraniums just for the hummers:) |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 13:03
I will bore you with a couple shots of my prized plant - salvia guaranitica blue ensign. Ive had this one several years and it takes a while to get this massive and spreads by underground runners/rhizomes. This one is quite massive as you can see here well over 5' in all directions but is not invasive. But you see why hummers are drawn to this one and I often see them deep inside this big guy to rest or stand guard. |
Trust me. Your pictures are not boring. I find them quite inspirational. Plus, it's nice to look at something colorful on such cold days. Feel free to post to your hearts desire. I love them! Kim |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 26, 13 at 22:04
Hi Kim Thanks , much appreciated Steve |
i have a few listed above and Texas Star Hibiscus and they loved pink fuscia (sp?) |
Speaking of the Mallow family, here in Texas I've found these 2 to be very good: Rock Rose, Pavonia lasiopetala (not usually mentioned on hummingbird plant lists, but both hummers and butterflies love it) Turk's Cap, Malvaviscus Drummondii Also Flame Acanthus, Coral Honeysuckle, Mexican Firebush, penstemons and all salvias (you can never have too many salvias). I think the hummingbirds might be late here.Got a feeder up and enough plants blooming, but so far, haven't seen any since the winter hummers left...should be soon. Probable freeze tonight...ugh! |

LOL wyldkard. I hope the little guy doesn't go flying into things. I had no idea they went to that! You should photo shop it with the time stamp 4:20. He he. |

In my zone 6 garden, they like monarda, and lady in red salvia the best. Hands down. |
I just picked up some feeders today. I'm sure I have a few weeks before they get to mid Michigan. I saw a couple last year. My neighbor seems to have every flower you can imagine lol, so I think they stop in her yard. The ones I saw last year were hanging out in her 6 foot butterfly tree. I want to draw them to my yard, but the fiance won't let me plant big bushes or trees. Were still fighting stumps from other bushes, trees ect, from the previous owners. and they are breaking our fences. I'm 6b. Can you guys please list some flowers, they love, that I can place in pots to hang? Or even in a few big pots I can place on a back patio, ones that wont grow crazy all over the deck? I have a porch deck 20 ft by 12 ft, where I could place alot of planters. |

Fuschia (annual), Russelia (annual) and Petunias |
- Posted by eclecticcottage 6b wny (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 19:44
They absolutely fight over the Japanese quince. I absolutely HATE that bush, mainly because it's too close to my gardens and I'm always fighting suckers, but they love the blooms, and the other birds love the cover when the leaves come in. They also liked the Zinnia, petunias in the window boxes and of course the butterfly bushes. |
For anyone wanting just one flower, it should be salvia coccineal 'Lady in Red'. That is your backbone. The place to start. Jacob Cline and the others bloom for a few weeks at a time. Black & Blue is great, but again it is for later in the season. Start with 'Lady in Red' and then add some more candy. |
- Posted by bakerhardwoods 5b (My Page) on Mon, May 13, 13 at 14:11
Stupid question -- is the Lady in Red Saliva is grown as an annual in zone 5b? If so, are they hard to start from seed. Thank you, Tim |
bakerhardwoods, I started Salvia coccinea (Summer Jewel) from seed, and they were easy. Lady in red is the same species. It's annual in zone 5. |

Calliandra californica: Baja Fairy Duster and Tecomaria capensis: Cape Honeysuckle are by far my best performers. Ryan |
I've only been doing this for 6 months...the only hummingbirds I've seen are on the firespike. |
Lobelia cardinalis and Silene regia are very good, but done now. Lonicera sempervirens gets attention and has bloomed for me all growing season in full sun on the mailbox post. Standing Cypress (Ipomopsis) variety Burpee's Hummingbird Mix has bloomed long and my hummer likes it. Salvia coccinea var. Summer Jewel blooms very quickly from seed, and long, and sees some use. Best plant overall has been Cuphea x David Verity. It's bloomed all growing season and has had one hummingbird's attention since July 3rd. |

Top 3 hummer plants in my gardens: Lobelia cardinalis They also like these in the gardens: Salvia coccinea - all cultivars (Lady in Red, Coral Nymph, White Nymph, etc.) |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Fri, Oct 4, 13 at 15:22
Lantana, followed closely by Buddleia and Cannas. Honorable but shorter-season mention goes to Basil, Coleus, Zinnia, Angelonia, Plectranthus. |
Green_go, What an absolutely gorgeous yard! I love catmint and miss it so much :) it grew well in my Ohio yard but doesn't seem to like this Florida heat and humidity. Thanks for sharing. |

Oh my goodness - what a lovely garden - of course the hummers were happy!!!!!! |

So, hummers like spam, go figure! |

Hi all. For people in zone6-7 like me, what perennials have you found to be most effective in attracting hummers? Thanks. |
Zeak, they absolutely do like Agastache 'Ava'. Zillions of tiny rose-pink flowers. This blooms late June or early July in St Louis. zone 6, blooms til hard frost. I have some in my office window and see hummers on it from first blooms til the last little guy leaves in October. It gets tall-- mine are about 5'. Three together make a wonderful big "bush". It is also a bee magnet-- mine have 4 or 5 kinds of bees on it at one time from great big bees to little tiny ones. It's a hardy perennial that blooms the first year. Offered by High Country Gardens and Bluestone Perennials. |
- Posted by robert1971 7a OK (My Page) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 13:47
And GW has done it again! Just ordered 3 Agastache 'Ava' from High Country Gardens. Laugh. I've always been curious about this cultivar and if it does well in St. Louis I'm sure it will do well in Tulsa. :) I like how not only hummers like it but bees as well. -Robert |
thanks for the info. love the blue options! |
- Posted by DebraV 6 TX Panhandle (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 14:34
I think mehitabel is a very good enabler. LOl You will love the Agastache of any variety... Now I must find room for Ava, and the Red Columbine I just received.... I see myself digging more beds soon. Thanks for bumping this. Debra |
LOL, Robert. But you really will love it. And I find the bees fascinating. The big ones need really hot days to get enough energy, so if it's rainy and cool they sort of sleep on the plant. The little ones don't need as much heat, or they're busy even on the cooler dimmer days. Debra, "Ava" will look glorious against that fence of yours. Mine is under the eaves against the house wall (pale brick). Looks wonderful from the street. |

At my house, S/W Ontario, zone 5b, we have the most attraction of hummingbirds with *ANNUAL* Sage in a colour I describe as "Grape Soda Purple". |
Puget Sound area (Zone 8b). They love my glads, honeysuckle, catmint, bee balm, cardinal lobelia, blue shrimp plants, pineapple sage, red sage, and lupines. I have a hummer nest in the purple rhododendron next to my house and a couple of years ago, we found one in our hydrangeas. |
I have seen them in my variegated weigela, and reliably every morning this week in my daylilies (mostly Stella d'oro). |
- Posted by ladyrose65 6bNJ (My Page) on Sat, Aug 2, 14 at 23:06
Wow! I am taking note of all the plants that have been mentioned. I have a regular returner that goes to the 'Jacobs cline' Monarda and the Maltese Cross. I keep the plants cut back so I get a steady flow of blooms. He/she skips over the buddleia? |
wyldkard , I love your photo:-) |
No one mentioned Nicotiana langsdorffii? |
- Posted by publickman Zn10B CA / Sunset Zn (My Page) on Mon, Nov 17, 14 at 15:57
In my yard, they like the different aloes that I have growing, and these bloom mostly around winter, from November through January or February. They love the neighbor's bottle brush tree across the street, which attracts swarms of hummers. They also like my bromeliads and tillandsia, but the tillandsia flowers do not last very long. I have one bromeliad (which has multiplied) that will tolerate full sun, and they especially like that one - photo below. Lars |
I live in north Texas. We plant Windy's Wish every spring. It is a beautiful plant with pretty red blooms. It can take our Texas heat and the hummingbirds absolutely love it! |
- Posted by pinusresinosa MN Z4 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 15 at 14:52
I grow petunia exserta each year and the ruby throats seem to love them! I second the agastaches, penstemmons, and trumpet vine blooms. The hummers here love those as well. Salvias too. Hummers here also seem to enjoy the zinnias as much as the butterflies do! Lavender is one that everyone seems to like here too- hummers, butterflies, and the bees. |

The state of Washington is the West's apple growing monarch, but the region's No. 1 grower-shipper of organic apples, Cuyama Orchards, is based in California.
"Our volume will be right around 200,000 cartons this season," said Byron Albano, marketing manager.
The grower-packer-shipper maintains its sales and administrative offices in North Hollywood, but the orchards are in the Cuyama Valley, about 60 miles north of Santa Barbara.
Cuyama Orchards is on the warmer, eastern side of the California coastal range, but because of the valley's microclimate, the organic apple season starts weeks later than conventional apple crops elsewhere in the state.
"Galas start our program, and harvesting should begin about Aug. 30, "Albano said in early August. "Our second variety is the Honeycrisp, which we'll start packing in mid-September."
Another September arrival will be granny smiths.
"It's not yet a major variety for us, but we're relatively new to the grannys," Albano said.
The premier apple variety at Cuyama Orchards is the fuji.
"We have a very high-brix, exceptional fuji," Albano said.
Picking of early fujis is scheduled to begin about Sept. 25, he said, with the standard fuji season expected to start about Oct. 15.
Apples are the major commodity at Cuyama Orchards, but a featured item is the crimson gold crabapple.
"It's a small, sweet crab apple," Albano said, "And we're certainly the country's largest grower-shipper of crimson golds."
Yet another of the company's major apple varieties is Pink Ladies; the harvest is scheduled to start in early November.
Cuyama Orchards also grows limited supplies of organic heirloom apples. Among them are Arkansas blacks, spitzenbergs and pippins, Albano said.
Acreage at Cuyama Orchards this season increased by more than 25% when a 60-acre block received organic certification.
"That brings our total to 265 organic certified acres," Albano said.
The volume will ramp up in the coming years, he said, because some of the orchards have not yet reached maturity.
Cuyama Orchards will have promotable supplies of apples through the holidays and will continue to ship the organic fruit at least through March and possibly into April, Albano said.
Retailers make up the lion's share of the company's customers, followed by wholesalers. The company also serves a limited number of foodservice customers, Albano said.

Lincoln Town Car Electrical Problems
lincolntown Posts: 1I have a 2003 Lincoln town Exec. My problem is when it rains or I hit a puddle of water all my dash indicators flicker or stay on including battery light, when that happens my headlights will sometimes cut out and the car will overcharge the battery and will in most cases make battery over heat to where the battery wont hold a charge? The indicators will sometimes flicker or stay on then go off for about 10 sec on dry days but over charge battery ?
chedicorn Posts: 1I'm interested in your post.
I'm wondering if this will be a solution to my problem.
I recently just bought a 99 lincoln used
and when I Got home I noticed at night the interior lights were on.
I went and used the key remote to hit the lock button to turn it off,
it turned off, but came back on and then went off and back on again.
I gave up and took the fuse out after testing about 20 of them to see which one it was.
IF I leave the headlights on the timer they will also go on and off with the interior lights. Anyone have this exact problem?
Also I noticed that the lights on the keypad on the drivers door also is consistent with going off and on with the headlights and the interior lights.
Anyone have this exact problem and have the fix? -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350Sometimes electrical problems will be reset to factory settings when the battery is completely disconnected for overnight. Just remove the + & - cables & reconnect the next morning. It may work and can't hurt. While the cables are free, use a wire cable cleaner on them and the battery posts can be cleaned as well. The tool costs about a dollar.
van_hohenheim Posts: 1My 1998 Town Car has a strange problem where, when the car shifts into a high gear, the electrical systems shut off. The engine continues running, but the dash goes dead, the lights shut off, and the AC/Heating systems shut off. When the car comes out of high gear, the electrical systems reboot themselves and continue working normally. Any ideas where I should be looking to fix the problem?
jake_g Posts: 3Not sure - but it sounds like a short.
I had a similar problem (on my LTC Limo 6pax) and it turned out to be the second battery installed under the right front bumper which supports were lose and caused the short when contact was made. Shortly after I fixed that I burnt out my alternator (had it replaced). Now the car is running fine. Maybe got lucky as I thought it was a transmission problem or a more serious electrical problem. -
datboiluck Posts: 1I also have a 98 TC that is doing the same thing. It started off with car not starting and having to get jumps from people. So I automatically think alternator. I usually go to junk yards to get parts because they're a lot cheaper and always do the job. I ended up having to get 3 different alternators, because each time I installed it, I kept having the same problem. Also, after charging the battery and starting the car, I would put volt meter on battery to see if it was charging, and on all 3 of them, all I seen was the voltage dropping down until car shut off. I had a friend follow me to auto zone, jumping me a few times on the way so that I can get the alt checked just so I would know that it wasn't my car, but instead just kept getting bad alts. Auto Zone told me it was bad, so got my money back, went to next junk yard and got another alt. So now after taking on and taking off 3 different alts I was doing it again, but one from another junk yard. Did everything like every other time, I would charge the battery while I took out the old alt, and installed the newer one. And just like each time before, the car started, but this time, the volt meter was showing the amperage going up. I was happy as hell because I thought I was finally done with changing out alts. But later that day when I was driving 1st, the radio shut off, then the instrument panel, but car kept running. At night, the same thing happened, but this time after the instrument panel went out, the headlights went off too. And whenever I slow down or come to a stop, it feels like it wants to die on me. I wasn't able to find time to go back into it and try to fix it all over again, so I figured out that whenever my radio goes out, that gives me the signal to put the car in park, or neutral, and rev it up for a few seconds and then everything powers up like I put a brand new battery in it. So 2 days ago, i finally took the alt back to the junkyard and exchanged it for another one. I got so good at taking it out and putting it back in, that I took my tools with me and did it in the parking lot and had the guy come out and test the alt and it showed that it was bad, and was doing the same thing all over again with the lights, and radio going off untill I rev up the engine., but this alt was giving out less power than the one I had in the car when I got there. So, I put the other one back in, They were cool about it and gave me a full refund, and I got to keep the alt that they have me to begin with. The mechanic at the junk yard told me to take my car to auto zone and have them hook up the comp to the car and check for any errors. So I did that, and auto zone told me that there was nothing wrong with the car. So what I'm going to do now is finally buy a new alt and see if it's just been me getting bad alts this whole time. If you have come up with any solutions yet please let me know, just in case its not going to work when I put the new alt in it. If you can e-mail me with the fix, (if you've found one by now) that would be great, because I am soooo tired of extracting, and installing alts. I'm guessing they wont let you put your personal e-mail address on here, so I'll just spell it the full way. its datboiluck(at)Gmail dot com. Also I don't know if you can facebook me, because that's how I signed in, but you can also do that, and I would appreciate it so much if you told me how to fix this damn beautiful car.
w9r1 Posts: 15Sometimes it's simple things. Make sure your battery cable terminal connections are NEW. If you have a corroded + cable it WILL cause weird crap to happen. My car had one of those clamp on cable ends on it. Eventually the wire got so corroded underneath it wouldn't start. Had to have it jumped, etc. Thought it was the battery....I've also seen this cause really weird behavior in interior lights and instruments (recently on my son-in-law's Taurus) which made me think the battery was bad or going bad. Turned out to be a bad cable connector on that one too. I took the connector off, cut the + cable off to the point of having clean wire and put on a pig-tail you can get at most auto parts stores. Problem solved for me.
brenda01 Posts: 3My car wouldn't start a few days ago. 2000 LTC. Looked under the hood and saw lots of corrosion on the positive battery post. Changed both terminals the next day and now the car starts fine, however a new problem has arisen. When I open my car door-My hazard lights begin to flash. While I'm driving the hazard lights flash for about 2 beats, cut off, then start again for another 2 beats. Also a red light is illuminated and flashing on my dash. Right behind the turn signal, to the right of the lights dim switch. It illuminates for 5 beats, pauses, then another 5 beats. Does this when the car is parked, does this when I'm driving. It wont stop flashing.
Ive disconnected and reconnected the terminals. Ive held the terminals together for 5mins. I turned the car into the on position and let it sit for 10mins. I started the car and let it idle for 10mins. These were all suggestions I found as a way of resetting the cars computer. I was told this was the reason the lights were turning on and off. None of these things worked...Any suggestion? Answers. I'll try anything at this point.Thank You. -
brenda01 Posts: 3Turn Signal Unit? Thats causing this? Seems so random, but Im going to have to take your word for it since no one will reply to me on the many sites of asked about this problem. Thank You NWRAA. I looked at it today and it seems like its something I could replace myself. I guess I'll try to find one at the junkyard. Hopefully this works. Its annoying driving with my hazards going on and off.

bpiroska Posts: 1I have a 2003 Lincoln Town car that starts but does not idle. This usually happens when it is warm or hot outside. I can travel for an hour, make a stop and turn off the engine. Ten minutes or more later I go to start my car. It starts but it won't idle. It cuts out and shows a picture of my battery and just quits. After about an hour (time to have tow truck show up) it will start and run like a top. It might run like a top for several months then it quits.
Last year I had a crankshaft sensor replaced but evidently that wasn't the problem. Alternator also checked. Any help would be appreciated. -
bartbarter Posts: 39Perhaps the IAC (idle air control) valve? Common problem, but I don't know if it's ever intermittent.
Your car doesn't have any wires but I believe the unit is in the same place.
Couple of bolts, clean with carb cleaner or wd 40 or replace with Motorcraft unit.
Hope that's it, good luck. -
butterfryman Posts: 2All lights work.....all fuses are fine. When I try to use the turn signal it doesn't flash. My mechanic says the LCM needs to be replaced...$750 at dealer...or junkyard then extra to have it re-programmed.
Is there anything simpler and cheaper to try first? My dash lights have been flashing on/off for a few years now also.....so if the LCM is indeed bad and more problems will soon happen...maybe I should replace the LCM anyway?
Also...is there anyway to determine if a used LCM is compatible or working....BEFORE I install it and pay the additional re-programming fee?
javp Posts: 1Yesterday i was changing a fuse on my 01 TC, everything was fine until a few minutes later, all my interior lights started going on and off and now i am unable to turn the car on, and all of the dashboard switches went crazy, (odometer, gas reading, temp) I can hear a noise coming from one of the relay fuses, may that be the problem??

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Canon-McMillan looks to follow WPIAL title run

Hardly a day goes by that Josh Kruczek doesn't encounter someone wanting to talk about the Canon-McMillan boys soccer team's improbable run to a WPIAL Class AAA title last season.
At the same time, Kruczek understands that unexpected push doesn't give the Big Macs a seven-game head start on anyone this fall.
"We talk about it every day," Kruczek said. "We have to keep a high standard in training and keep it game-like. We know that everyone's going to be coming for us because of last year and what we did."
Canon-McMillan graduated seven seniors from a team that finished 19-5 after taking the No. 13 seed in the WPIAL playoffs and parlaying it into victories over Central Catholic, Franklin Regional, Peters Township and Upper St. Clair, the final one garnering the school's first and only WPIAL title.
That seven-player group includes several defensive-minded players and the Big Macs' All-WPIAL goalkeeper, James Hathaway, who stopped more penalty kicks (two) than he allowed goals (one) during the first five games of Canon-Mac's postseason run.
"We lost some good players last year," senior Corey McCurdy said. "But we know we can step up and play to our ability. With what we have, we have the ability to do it again this year."
The Big Macs return four players who scored double-digit goals a season ago: McCurdy (13), Kruczek (11), sophomore Nick Sodini (11) and junior Jake Wilcox (10).
That, coupled with the losses of players such as All-WPIAL defender Alec Brumbaugh and Jake Alauzen, should give Canon-McMillan more of an offensive flavor this season – at least until the defense gets sorted out.
"We'll be able to score goals," Canon-Mac coach Larry Fingers said. "We'll have to figure out how to defend."
One thing Kruczek pointed out is that no matter who steps up in the back, the Big Macs won't change the way they do things.
"We'll still have the same style of play," Kruczek said. "There may be some different players out there now, but we're still going to be aggressive, ambitious and try to do what we do."
Competing to take Hathaway's spot are sophomore Christian Snatchko and senior Alex Hannigan, a field player the past two seasons.
"I think it's going to be tough," Fingers said. "The good news is we have two very good goalkeepers."
Seniors Ivan Viveros and Bryan Sontag will be important pieces defensively, with the versatile Viveros bumping up to the midfield as he often did last season. Junior Jake Trainor and Hannigan – even if he doesn't start in goal – will be impact players.
"(Sontag) is a solid defender, but I don't think we had the leadership we had last year with Alec Brumbaugh," Viveros said. "He's hard to replace."
So are the memories Canon-McMillan created last season by upsetting Section 5-AAA powers Upper St. Clair and Peters Township – teams the Big Macs went 0-4 against during the regular season, all of them by one goal.
The competition doesn't figure to be too different this season – outside of perhaps Central Catholic or Seneca Valley – and a date to circle will most certainly be Sept. 10, the night Canon-Mac hosts Upper St. Clair.
And there won't be any special preference given to the Big Macs after their 1-0 win over the Panthers in the WPIAL final a season ago.
"We know what it feels like, so we're striving to get back to where we were," McCurdy said. "That has given us a little better of an idea of where we have to be to win a championship."

Yoplait, for the most part, has been my favorite brands of yogurt because they have a nice creamy texture and natural flavor. Upon hearing that they released their Thick & Creamy line as a Light version, I decided to give it a try. The regular version is just as the name says, thick and creamy, but a 6 ounce container has 190 calories and 28 grams of sugar, while this Light version is only 100 calories.
When I opened my tub of strawberry yogurt, I was met with a solid block! It wasn't until I spooned some out that I noticed a wobbliness to it that seemed familiar. I thought about it for a minute, and that's when it hit me. This looks like: Plain yogurt + Sugar-free Jello = Yoplait Thick & Creamy Light. The noticeable lack of fruit and unpleasant, distinct bounciness of the yogurt confirmed my suspicions.
Despite the weird texure, the flavor was good and the strawberry flavor was evident. Plus there wasn't any odd aftertastes which often occurs with Splenda-sweetened yogurt.
A 6 ounce container of Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy provides 100 calories, no fat, 14 grams of sugar, 5 grams of protein, and 20% of the daily value for calcium.
A single container can be bought for $0.50 at most grocery stores, but despite the reasonable price, I'm not sure that I will be buying this again. I'll just stick with my regular Yoplait Light.

My tree looks sick. How can I find out what's wrong with it?
You have a few options to find out what's ailing your tree:
1. Call or email the Master Gardener helpline (323) 260-3238 or email@example.com. Master Gardeners are volunteers who've been trained to help with fruit tree and gardening questions.
2. The UC Davis Integrated Pest Management site offers lots of information. Click on "Homes, gardens, landscape and turf - including Pest Notes".
3. Consult a professional arborist. Get a few quotes before selecting one.
4. If there is a disease or insect problem, you can send in samples to the County Plant Pathologist or Entomologist. They will diagnose the pathogen for free. Click on this link for the directions to send samples http://acwm.co.la.ca.us/pdf/SampleSubmission.pdf.
Here's the general website that has other pest information from Los Angeles County. http://acwm.co.la.ca.us/scripts/pestpdf.htm.

Okay, onto my next kit. It's a little late to be posting a Father's Day kit, but hey, the summertime gets busy and other things take the front stage!
When I think about being a father, I realize the important role a father can play in a family. I realize how lucky I was to have grown up with a father who gave me one of the greatest gifts...his time. He was a busy man with his work as well as duties at church, but when he came home he did not go sit on the couch and turn on the TV to watch sports or whatever. In fact, I rarely ever saw him watch sports, unless it was one of his own kids' sporting events. He was in so much love with my mother. My siblings and I were the type of kids to have said, "Ew Dad, stop kissing Mom in front of us!" However, we are all so grateful that they were willing to show us how much they loved each other.
My dad kept the mood light in the home. I remember on Sundays after church he would drive us around to look at model homes. We'd be gone for a couple of hours. Growing up these were such great memories for us. (We later learned that part of his reasoning of doing this was to let my mom have a moment of peace and quiet for a little while...there were 5 of us and the age gap between the oldest and youngest is 7 years). And although he was giving my mom a break, we also knew how much he loved to do this with us.
My mom used to accompany at the piano while my dad would sing silly songs (even with little dance motions now and then). He was always making us laugh. He always seemed so young to me because he was willing to just be silly and youthful (do not get me wrong, he was mature and responsible when he needed to be).
I love that he still has his youth and is still willing to have fun. The picture below is more of a family inside joke so I will not bore you with details, but as you can see he is very young at heart as we played ring around the roses (in a crazy way....my brother on the left is normally NOT that flamboyant!)
Because of the fun and youthfulness in my parents' marriage, all of us kids grew up with a sense of humor as well and an inner desire to remain young. When we get together, we are very immature and find ourselves laughing at everything. The picture below was taken at a family trip. At the condo we were staying at, there was a FOUR person jacuzzi. With the 5 of us kids, (4 of us are married), that adds up to NINE of us who were all wanting to be in the jacuzzi together. Let's just say that the water ended up with half of it all gone by the time we were out of there. But the below picture shows a little bit of our weirdness:
It's pictures like this that bring back memories for me and make me so grateful for my family. It makes me so grateful for my dad and how fun he helped our childhood to be. (By the way, my mom played a MASSIVE role in our humor, but since this post is about Father's Day, that's why I'm mentioning so much about him!) I love that we can laugh about things...and even enjoy our get togethers as we remember my mom on the anniversary of her death. Everything is joyful and I am so blessed.
My studly husband came home one day with a fedora hat. At first I thought to myself, "Oh my goodness, I am married to a teenager." But then as I thought about it, I thought how grateful I am that my husband wants to be young. (I love that in the reflection of his glasses you can see Caitlynn laughing at him).He makes me laugh, and when it comes to being a father, he makes my kids laugh and act silly and crazy. So often I think, "I am trying to calm them down to get them ready for bed", but then when I think that their dad works long hours and is sometimes gone for lots of days at a time, I am so lucky that he brings out that energy in them. They will have memories of having a fun dad and that is so important to me.
So, I called this kit "Fathers and Fedoras" because to me, it is so important to be young. I realize the wrinkles are going to come. I realize the energy won't always be there. I realize the gravity will drag us down. But I also know that we can still retain our youth in other ways. We need to laugh. We need to make memories. We need to spend more time with the ones we love. And for no reason at all, everyone should buy a fedora!
