    Quamoclit for hummingbirds!

    I followed the sowing instructions and I had three sprout after only 2-3 days and the 4th one the day after. One was chomped on by a rabbit or something so it no longer exists. All right next to my 8 foot electroculture post! I solely bought these seeds because hummingbirds are supposed to go crazy for these flowers. Awesome!
