Variegated Weigela Weigela florida 'Variegata'
Another gorgeous blooming plant in my daughter's garden. Most of the flowers and shrubs she planted were to attract birds and butterflies. Weigela is a favorite of hummingbirds; surely they will be attracted to these beautiful blossoms.

Love Weigela. I planted a varigated one last year but so far no blooms. Nice to see what I have to look forward to.
Lovely flowers. I'd love to plant something that would attract hummingbirds but nothing much grows well in my very shady back yard.
Hello Pat!
Thank you for your comment on my blog…it is very nice to hear from another inhabitant of Arkansas! We are feeling a little waterlogged here too and will be glad to see the sun tomorrow. I enjoyed browsing your blog and seeing your photos. I didn’t realize hummingbirds are fond of weigela as this is the first year mine has bloomed.
Gorgeous. Did your daughter get her green thumb from you?
I had never heard of these till my daughter got me three of them...not the variegated. Mine have not started to bloom yet.
Gorgeous! No wonder the hummingbirds are drawn to them! Happy Sunday~Janine XO
The Weigela is a lovely spring shrub. Great to plant a garden to attract birds and butterflies and other creatures which need a helping hand.
mine is on threemonkeys)
Lovely photo! At one time I would never have given a thought to what attracts birds and butterflies, but I am entering into a new phase o my life and from now on everything I buy for the garden will be given great thought. Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo. Have a great week.
Wow, I can see that your daughter has a very lovely garden! Thank you for sharing. Have a great week :)
A very lovely flower! To me it sounds so great to have a plant in the garden that attracks hummingbirds! I would have loved to see that!
BEautiful "bells" they are so elegant!

Beautiful picture. Hey, we got the rain yesterday and today.
I wish we had flowers like that.
Just lovely. Your daughter must have a beautiful garden!
I've not heard of Weigela since living in Missouri nearly 35 years ago. Nice reminder and lovely photos!
Beautiful flowers. I have a black thumb, I'm afraid. I did manage to keep a Shamrock alive for several years, but it seemed to thrive on neglect and it's a good thing it did.
Beautiful flowers. My sister lives in Jacksonville. Maybe I will visit some day.
What lovely blossoms and an intriguing plant. I wonder if they'd grow here? I've got hummingbirds all the time in my yard so this would be a gift to them.
Hugs and blessings,
