Unusual Ruby for Tuesday...

Yesterday, while visiting a friend, I happened to glance out her kitchen window and knew that I had a perfect subject for this week's Ruby Tuesday photo shot.

There, hanging in a huge Maple tree, was her Poinsettia plant that she had lovingly cared for enough that it's leaves were still red! (I consider myself lucky just to keep them in blossom through the Christmas Holiday!)

Don't forget to visit other Ruby Tuesday participants over at Mary T's. They all have some pretty fascinating photos.

  1. That's an amazing RT photo. I didn't know the red would last so long on a poinsettia.
