Ruby Tuesday- Inside the Conservatory

Ruby Tuesday is sponsored by Mary over at Work of the Poet. All photos of taken by me and have red somewhere in them. Those are the only requirements for this meme.Visit Work of the Poet to add your link or to just visit Rubies from around the world.

Longwood Garden Conservatory is has over 5,500 plants species. It has 20 indoor gardens including a children garden. One could surely find some rubies there. the one thing I love about this conservatory is it changes with the seasons. So you will always see something new every time you visit. Their Greenhouse is one of the greatest known in the USA.

  12. My favorite is the ornamental peppers. Your closeup shot is terrific!
    All the shots are wonderful however.
    The 'fire breathing' dragon doesn't seem to bother the little girl at all even though he looks a little scary.
    I've enjoyed following your posts from these gardens and have loved my 'virtual' visits.

  21. What beautiful photos, and from such a gorgeous place! I'm several hours from there, but have begun planning my next trip! :)

    Oh, and that "Venus Fly Trap" is a different carnivore, a Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia.) We have those growing wild in a few spots around here.

  22. The least of red in nature shows up much larger than its size - a little bit of ruby in a sea of green stands out mightily! This conservatory is stunning in its floral designs!
