Actually, on closer inspection, they both look to be males - which could be why "Hs" isn't interested!

Thanks Melissa & Carol! I took this last night & they are still there tonight, & he is still working hard to attract her attention!

Utterly fantastic! So amazing! You have them side by side. One wing is open and other closed. Gorgeous color. WOW!
