Sure. They will come back, but when? It may depend on their options. We
have a number of planters, flower boxes and hanging baskets with flowers
as well as four different flower and herb garden, several flowering
bushes and a lot of wild flowers. We usually only catch glimpses of
humming birds. If we move they bolt and go elsewhere and they don't come
back right away.
