Bee Balm hummer

This is my second year planting flowers my hummers love.
I have one male hummer and two females that come back from last year.
On my patio I have feeders hanging and a hibiscus.
I also planted in the flower beds some hibiscus.
I was out yesterday morning inspecting the plants and was walking to the patio where I have a bee balm plant blooming.
I stopped for a brief moment and thought I have not seen a hummer feed from it yet.
Just as I stood there my male hummer came right in front of me just six inches from my face and started feeding on it with no fear at all.
It was a really special moment, as if he was saying thanks for putting my favorite flower out for me to enjoy.
These tiny birds are a true blessing from God.
