Whenever I walk out my backyard I noticed a hummingbirdpollinating several of the white blooms on my lemon tree. Iwondered if hummingbirds are attracted to white flowers morethan any other color. I figured that since I always seehummingbirds flying around white flowers that they must only be attracted to white flowering plants. I placed three differentcolored rose plants (white, red and yellow) in my garage to see how much time the hummingbird spent pollinating the otherflowers. I released it three different times on three different daysfor 1 hour each day at the same time in the day. I found the hummingbird spent 33.3% of its time pollinating the white roses, and 66.7% of its time pollinating the red and yellow roses. Idecided that hummingbirds are not more attracted to white colors, rather, they may like the scent of the white flowers morein my backyard than the other flowers.
