Hummingbirds would probably eat the sap, as it's sugary like nectar, but the flowers on orchis are usually the wrong shape for them, and often the wrong color. From my limited experience, most orchids are white, purple, orange, green...but not the bright red that hummingbirds like so much. I know there's a few bright red orchids, but I doubt they live in the same place as the birds.
