Ruby Tuesday_Sept 6, 2011

~~~

It's Ruby Tuesday again!

Recently we visited relatives in Alabama. Summertime in north Alabama is beautiful with many flowers in bloom! (very HOT, though!) 

This Rose of Sharon bush grows at my sister-in-law's place near Athens, Al!  I love that dark red center and it makes a perfect selection for my Ruby Tuesday post!

This one grows at my brother and S-I-L's place in Hartselle, Al.  It's bloom is multi-petaled and a dark pink in color.


 
These flowering bushes produce many blooms throughout summer! I enjoy the variety in colors and form of these flowers.

  1. That reminds me that I need to plant some R of S seedlings. I wonder if they'll make it through the winter?

  3. I do not think I have ever seen a Rose of Sharon although I have read about them and simply love the name. What a beautiful flower.
