Day 180: Staying abreast of currant events is very important because this occurrence means that the hummingbirds won't be far behind. Red-flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum) is extremely popular with our tiny avian friends and they may often be seen hovering around the flower heads even before the individual blossoms have opened. The inflorescence of the Red-flowering Currant is its best feature. The small black berries are rather bland and uninspiring, if edible in a pinch. The plant itself is a woody shrub which grows to about eight feet in height.
