Allen's Hummingbird Silk
Reflecting the bold, warm colors of the wildflowers whose sweet nectar fuels and invigorates their flight, the Allen’s hummingbird exudes a confident and playful beauty that has belonged to the majesty of California’s central coast for millenia. Their pure little hearts exhibit endurance in their hovering harvest, as they extract sweetness from bright red epilobium, native penstemon, paintbrush, clarkia, salvia, ribes, manzanita, columbine, dudleya…. The males show their fearlessness as sky-divers, flying high to plunge in rapid descent down the coastal bluff before ascending up again to repeat the presentation. These original birds exhibit a unique affinity and perhaps an affection for spiders, whose webs they sometimes visit for insects as well as for strong nesting materials. The iridescent, scallop feathers of their head and neck are truly one of the great wonders of the world, reflecting electric green to orange to fire red. Enjoy these friends when you see them and be sure to plant for them in your garden. According to Audubon’s climate models, the Allen’s Hummingbird could lose up to 90 percent of its current breeding range by 2080. This 20"x70" scarf is printed on 100% silk chiffon and has a delicate hand-rolled hem.
