Although I have been adding nectar to my hummingbird feeder, twice a week, since mid-May, I did not see any hummers UNTIL YODAY. I saw my first hummer at the feeder. It was a female, or a juvy male (no red spot on throat). I am always glad to see them, in summer...
Here's a pic of my variegated CLEYERA, C. fortuna. This plant is a BLE (broad-leaved evergreen), for those who like plants that retain their leaves, year'round...

It's time for the hardy CONFEDERATE ROSE to bloom! Actually, this form is a hybrid of our familiar Rose of Sharon, H. syriacus with Hibiscus paramutabilis. The hybrid is a much hardier plant. The blooms are larger than Rose of Sharon, too! The cultivar of this one is 'Lohengrin' :

CORRECTION: A few days ago, I posted this pic, and said that its cultivar was 'Blue Bird'. Actually, it is 'Aphrodite'...

Well, this one is HARDY, and does not need replanting every year.

The NIGHT JASMINE, Cestrum nocturnum, is is FULL BLOOM! If you have never gotten a whiff of the scent that emanates, from these blooms, then you have missed a treat for the nose. The scent is exquisite!
