The sort of flower a hummingbird pursues largely depends on the species of hummingbird. Each type has its own preferences and is also physically built for certain flowers. For example, the sicklebill hummingbird's beak is drastically curved downward, making it quite proficient at obtaining nectar from flowers in the family Gesneriaceae.

It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.

Nectar and sugar water.
Yes they do drink natural flower nectar, mainly from flowers that have co-evolved to provide them with the kind of sugar and amounts of nectar they prefer in exchange for pollination services. Hummingbird nectar flowers are usually red, orange, or bright pink, shaped like a tube or trumpet, and produce nectar that is weaker then that of insect-pollinated flowers and contains a high proportion of sucrose (the same as white table sugar).
