When we arrived it had been dry for quite some time and the Aloe saponaria at the front corner of the screen room had a spectacular candelabra of buds that weren't opening because the plant was so dry. I watered it and the first flower opened today. It is a hummingbird magnet and I hope they will come. Asclepias curvassica is flowering a few feet down and that will help. Just across the drive there is a selection of Salvia greggii with a few flowers and that should draw them in too.
