When we were in OH, we saw some AWSOME hummingbirds that I thought we bees, then my sister told me, No those are the hummingbirds. Then looked closer, & sure enough they were! I was amazed! They were two toned, brown/tan. I've never seen very many, so I don't know what they are, I guess! So was AMAZED! She was saying that those are wild petunia's, which I didn't know attracted butterflys! Learn something new everyday, don't ya! Shazam!!
