Notes:
Colours separated by commas indicate different colours. 
Colous separated by a slash "/" are for multi-coloured flowers,  For example, white/red would indicate a white flower with red stripes, or a red center.
Colours separated by a hyphen "-" indicate the possible shades.  Example, white-red would be used where a plant is known to flower in whites, pinks, reds.
Bloom times are noted in traditional seasons (season-season).  Sp-dry or su-rain means summer drought or fall rains bring an end to flowering.
Plants listed as blooming all year may not bloom during cold, dark, wet, foggy stretches that typically occur from mid-November through February.
Other notes: p=perennial, shr=shrub, frag=fragrant flowers or foliage, trp=plant is of subtropical or tropical origin and may be damaged by freezing temperatures,
ann=annual.   Some  plants are listed as perennial but are in fact  shrubs.  I've listed them  by  best use, such as the small shrub Mimulus bifidus which most frequently used
in a perennial situation.  Some shrubs (Salvias mostly) are listed as perennial due to the risk of die-back from freezing temperatures.
** For additional information on cultivation I recommend the Sunset Western Garden BookGrowing California Native PlantsMontery Bay Nursery's Online Catalog,
Las Pilitas Nursery's Plant Lists, the forums at Gardenweb and the Sacramento Gardening Bulletin Board.

There are certainly other plants for hummingbirds that do well in the Sacramento Valley.  This is a quick list of plants I've had good experience with, or plants I've noticed that do
exceptionally well and attract hummingbirds.  Additional plants will be listed in the future.
