Trumpeting The Hummingbird's Salad Bar

____________________________________________________________________________________



Clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers 
burst from the tips of its leafy branches. 

The spectacular red corolla unit of petals
attracts, and provides nectar 
for hummingbirds. 

The Spanish name trompetilla 
means "little trumpet." 

It refers to the 
corolla’s shape.
