Carpenter bees are the main visitors to its flowers that I normally see, though I have seen a couple of hummingbirds brave the alkaloid-tasting nectar, too.

What fun to have those records!
This will be post 1401, since I started blogging in the summer of 2007 -- I can hardly imagine that, really.
A fellow naturalist (Bill Hilton) over in York, SC, and a hummingbird expert, posted this interesting piece back in 2008. about Carolina Jessamine. There are definitely some potent alkaloids involved!
