Because it blooms during fall migration, Spotted Jewelweed is an important wildflower for hummingbirds. The tubular shape of the drooping blossoms make a hummingbird the perfect pollinator. One hummer can visit as many as two hundred flowers in fifteen minutes! Report the natural sources of nectar hummingbirds are finding in your area.
"There's jewelweed blooming all along the roadsides. I like to think of the hummers finding this favorite fall food as they migrate."
