Columbine flowers are most successful when they are grown in zones 4-8, and they are very inviting to butterflies and hummingbirds, as well as being resistant to rabbits and deer. You are likely to find them growing all over the United States but they are notorious for interbreeding, which often produces some pretty interesting flowers.

Yes. I'm planting flowers to attract hummingbirds.

The honeysuckle is starting to bloom. I have about 35 ft of chain link fence to cover.

The Purple Hyacinth Bean will help too but it is not ready to bloom yet.

I love the hummers, I have 3 feeders. Get some of these if you have a place for them. They will freeze out if it stays cold though. Bottle Brush is their favorite also, if it will grow where you are.

As long as the birds and butterflies don't care I'll be ok with them.

These being yellow I'll need to get some other colors.

Nestled in the enchanting forest of Ukraine near the town of Klevan, this whimsical railroad was formed from years of plants and trees molding around the love train as it made its daily rounds transporting wood, needed for cupid’s arrows of course, to the workshop nearby.
