I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Ruby Tuesday
My red today is the fruit of our lily of the valley plants. The berries are about 1/2 inch in diameter and the most beautiful ruby red.
To see more rubies, check out Mary T's Ruby Tuesday meme here.
Hi ! What a beautiful red berry !! I had just pics about lilies of the valley in M pics. I'll but link here straight to those pics so you'll see tehm too :)
our lily of the valley in Ontario does not have any fruit. Is this just a B.C. phenomena or is it a differnt kind of lily of the valley than the one I am familiar with? Nina
Ann - I don't know if they're edible. I'm not gonna try, either.
Angie, Nina - I'm not sure why some of them have berries. Most of the plants do not. And some, like this one, have two. They've been here a long time - over 30 years. Maybe that's why?
These are a gorgeous shade of red! I'll bet some bird will like them.
I remember having lily of the valley plants at the house where I grew up but can honestly say I don't remember seeing fruit on ours. I think you have magical soil! :D

Stephani, how pretty. I had no idea Lilies of the Valley produced such berries.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I learned something new!
