Thanks, Clarice! I do love salvia. Bought some too early and they are not
doing well. Honeysuckle is also great. Does it grow quickly? Hostas would
do well in my shady areas, but how often do they flower?

There is an article in the JUNE 1999 issue of Birder's World entitled
"Hummingbird Beacons". ( It is a regular column about Gardening for
Birds.)
.. They credit a book on the subject
"Humminbird Gardens" by Nancy Newfield and Barbara Nielsen.
Featured are Salvia species, which in my experience are heat lovers.
If you have a garden warmer than mine in Puyallup, you might try
some.
I have seen them feed on hosta flowers in my garden,but the all time
favorite is Lonicera - honeysuckle.
