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.

Ruby Tuesday- Longwood Garden Beauties

We went to Longwood Gardens over the weekend. They have some great rubies there. I love the Conservatory, everything is laid out just right. When you walk into the Orchid room the smell overwhelms you! It is always that way. There were so many this year that had Red in them. Maybe it because we are always looking for the ruby color that the family eyes spied them. So here we go enjoy the view, Click on each photo to enlarge.

This one was my favorite this year.
The colors are great together.
Love the ruby tips
I tied to get a great shot of its Ruby color.
It was much more ruby than these show.
The last shot is a closest.
Velvet texture is hard to Photograph
