I want to start out by saying that I have a few nice looking patches of lycoris, but in general, they didn't do very well this year. Maybe because of the excessive rain we had earlier? I don't know.
Fortunately, two of the best looking patches of flowers were right by the house, where we could easily enjoy them.
One evening, when it was almost dark, we thought we saw several hummingbirds feeding on the flowers. They were the size of hummingbirds, and they hovered like hummingbirds, but....we didn't hear their wings. It was hard to make them out in that lighting, but after looking closely we were able to tell that they were actually moths that just
looked like hummingbirds!!!!
Well, of course, I had to ask Mr Google! This is what I found....
I thought that was soooo interesting! We've sat out every night watching them!! Apparently Goober likes them too, judging by the amount of broken flowers that are there now!
