Ruby Tuesday
I've never been a big fan of smoke trees - so named because their flowers become plumy clouds of gray when they go to seed. But when I saw this one yesterday, I thought it would be perfect for Ruby Tuesday.

Interesting...I've never heard of smoke tress. The ruby red outline definitely adds pizazz!
A nice little ruby find!
Just this morning I noticed mine was showing off red tops. I should go take a photo - thanks for the thought. :)
Pretty leaves. I'll bet they are gorgeous in the fall. Or do they change?
If you'd like to stop by my blog I'm at Cake Crumbs.
Yes! Perfect choice!
This is a very interesting tree-IMO- well- at least these leaves are! :)

What a fascinating RUBY find! This is a totally NEW plant to me and I see why it drew your attention ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I see the red!
You're right, Stephanie, it's just like blanket stitch!
You've a great eye to see the red.
You have such a quick eye, Stephanie. I would have seen it, but never likened it to stitching. It does look like it, though.
Mimi, Rudee - it's a lot redder in reality and the leaves are more purple. And stitchery is never far from my mind.
Junie - I'm still not a fan. I've never seen one with the red edges before - I think this must ahve been a special one. The plain purple leaf variety is very common here, though.
Now I know about smoky trees - they have lovely red decoration!
nice red
Of course! Blanket stitch. I love the way a stitcher thinks :)
It does have a pretty edge.
Nature is so amazing. I think I have seen leaves like that before but not known what they were. Thanks for enlightening me :)
