Plants that attract hummingbirds commonly have longer tubular flowers which accommodate their long beaks and tongues. Hummingbirds are partial to flowers that are red, pink or orange but also are attracted to blue and purple flowering plants. Hummingbirds aid in pollination as they drink nectar from flowers and also feed on insects and spiders for their protein requirements.
