I have been looking for another plant to attract humminbirds and noticed
the one in the photos at the following link:

Aside from the photos, here is what I know about the plant:

It is in Zone 9a and has survived temps down to upper teens last winter.
It is deciduous. Two weeks ago when I last saw both plants (they are
about two miles apart), they had no leaves. The photos showing the
blooms were taken in mid-May, two years ago. The height is approximately
10 feet for the one in the second photo, about eight feet for the one in
the first photo. After the blooms are gone, I have never noticed fruit
on the plant.

How about a closeup of leaves and flowers?

It could be some variety of bottlebrush

except they are not deciduous.
