climber vines

My cardinal climbers have finally gone all the way up the post (seedheads of clematis there with them) to the deck railings- but no flowers yet. So late in the year.

I've glimpsed the hummingbird a few times- in fact the other day I think I saw two darting at each other in the air- but I think they're coming to the black-and-blue salvia on the sideyard. They don't come near the deck because there's no flowers for them here.
