Heartbreaking news, Kresha. Your telling is as beautiful as what looks to be geraniums you are planting. Hummingbirds see colors in the red spectrum so they'll see yours. Some geraniums produce a little nectar, but not much, so for that reason they won't hang around long. There's more nectar in tubular flowers like salvia, Lobelia Cardinalis, Impatiens (no tubular but good source of nectar), so you could add a one or two of those :) May the people of the world find peace and heal.
Thanks, Char. I am not a great gardener, though I've been doing it for years. I'll look for the plants you mentioned!
Peace.

Thank you for this heartfelt piece. This was such a devastating tragedy.
May their memory be for a blessing and may your lovely garden bring you comfort.
Thanks. It is a sad day.
I know. I am a gentile who loves Israel and I am grieving with you.
Kresha, Thank you for your timely words. Another horror is an ongoing narrative. When will it stop? May they find peace together in heaven.
Thanks, Serena.
Kresha, thanks for your thoughtful, insightful words. I join you in grieving the losses of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.
