Compliments for your keen eye in readi...Dear David,<br />Compliments for your keen eye in reading! Sure, the nectar is what the hummingbirds are after but since this variety is loaded with pollen, the also do digest some of that. It has been found that some hummingbird stomachs contained 10 to 15% of pollen. Researchers don't know if they intentionally ingested it or if it merely adheres to their tongue when reaching for the nectar.<br />As you can read here:<a href="http://www.birdwatchersdigest.com/bwdsite/learn/hummingbirds/what-do-hummingbirds-eat.php/" rel="nofollow">What do Hummingbirds Eat?</a><br />Happy weekend!<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-11801519238374833072015-10-03T14:27:56.039-04:002015-10-03T14:27:56.039-04:00wunder-wunderschön ist die blaue Blüte, liebe Mari...wunder-wunderschön ist die blaue Blüte, liebe Mariette, sie trägt ihren Namen zu recht -Chiffon-Hibiscus-, so zart und filigran.

If I may be so bold may I point out that hummingbirds visit the flowers for the nectar not for the pollen; the dispersal of pollen is the benefit the flower receives in exchange for the food it provides for the bird.David M.
