I think the hummers will love it, here the honeysuckle is very popular so good choice!

So satisfying to have a project complete and tidy. And wonderful for the hummingbirds too. Congrats!

Oh, nice grouping for Hummingbirds! I've been wanting to get that Major Wheeler Honeysuckle for awhile now. I have the Mandarin. Love Pentas. I hope you have a ton of hummingbirds this season. Post more photos as they fill in. :-)

Looks good! Will be quite nice when fills in (you can always get more annuals to fill in this season). I love pentas, both the foliage and the flowers - the butterflies seem to enjoy them, too.

Looks great! I took a cutting of my pentas last fall and it is in the garden growing well.

It looks lovely! But you might want to add some plants to feed your particular butterfly caterpillars. I don't know which butterflies you have but a internet search will tell you what plants your caterpillars need.
