Hummingbirds and flowers
enjoy a mutually beneficial
relationship.

In search of nectar for their
nourishment, hummingbirds
may visit up to 3,000 flowers
per day.

While the flowers provide them
essential food, the hummingbirds
in turn pollinate the flowers.

Interestingly, hummingbird
flowers are designed primarily
to attract only hummingbirds,
being red to yellow in hue, with
long, narrow corollas and
watery nectar.

Females, who rear their young
alone, establish regular feeding
routes carefully designed to allow
individual flowers just enough
time between visits to refill with
nectar.

Hummingbirds and flowers…
a match meant to be.
