In my garden I try to use as many native flowers & plants to my state & region. The birds, butterflies & hummers love 'em. Try some plain old fashioned flowers like zinnias, petunias, marigolds, sunflowers, 4 oclocks, lantana. The finches love the zinnias & sunflowers. The hummingbirds love the 4 oclocks & petunias. The butterflies like the lantana. With all the lovely colors in your yard, you will have lots of great compliments too.

First how are you living in Iowa and not able to write plain simple English? See the spell check in the corner just above this line.

I know you're trying to be "cute" in your Abbreviated use of words but it looks dumb. I'd say buy plastic flowers and devote more time to an education.

It's too late to start for this unless you can find a seedling or plant, but Sunflowers are good. Birds keep coming back for seeds. You can also place bird feeder outside of your house, somewhere protective and shady.

Look for a plant called LANTANA (check the spelling).
Once the hummingbirds find out that you have this plant, you won't be able to keep them away.
CAUTION: the LANTANA requires lots and lots of water...everyday...several times a day...everyday...often!
