I just put up a Hummer feeder and wonder what else attracts them. Recently I've seen some at the vines with tiny, red trumpet looking flowers. But what else attracts them.
I always recommend working with a garden first, then worrying about feeders as a supplement to that garden. This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions I get when giving programs on hummingbirds, and one that gets the same answer repeatedly.
Wherever possible, use a large splash of colorful (in the spring red is important, once the birds are in your garden almost any color as long as it looks like food to them will do) flowering plants to get their attention. One that works well in the southeast, I believe, is firespike, but I am not from that region so I really can not comment on particular species. Some of the non-natives I see mentioned often are shrimp plant, cupheas (the David variety is quite well spoken of). I would recommend a great book, Nancy Newfield from Louisiana is one of the authors, "Hummingbird Gardening" for further suggestions.
A few general recommendations I make:
A native plant is going to generally be less headaches for you than is an exotic
Look for plants that have a long bloom period and
Use the clustering method to produce more color in a single splash
Without further description I can not identify the vine you mention, but could it be Coral Honeysuckle?
