Based upon your experiences as children, I assume that this flower would be popular with hummingbirds.

I wouldn't dream of eating wild flowers here
I vaguely recall doing something similar as a kid but I have no idea what flower/plant it was. This is quite beautiful!
I see it first time in my life. Beautiful flower!
Beautiful yellow color !
I assume the nectar is as sweet as this picture.
I remember doing that too Hilda, when we lived in Africa.
we did the same thing.
btw do you know the english name of santan or even the scientific name?
I have never tried this and I wish I had. What a "sweet" childhood memory.
Beautiful series of flowers and nature photos, Hilda!
Me too...happy memories :).
We did that with clover flowers.
Very pretty flower.
I just love this plant series. I'm always in love with the tropics and its lush nature.
