This is great! What types of flowers worked best? The fuchsias certainly look great for photography.

Thank you! They seemed to like the salvia the best, especially in the morning when we didn't have the feeders out yet.Β

Thanks for the info! I'm planning on having some planters around my decks this year. I can't really have anything in my yard because there are too many deer here who would eat anything and everything.
