Ruby Tuesday Spring Rubies

Those of you who might think I live in a tropical forest I'll have to disappoint.
These were not taken on some tropical location.
I live in Belgium.
The pictures were taken at the botanical garden in Antwerp.
These are merely tiny new sprouts on some kind of a a shrub.
I forgot to look what the name of the bush was, I'm sorry.
All I was thinking was that it would make a great Ruby Tuesday subject!

But I did remember to take a look at this one ...

Because of it's blossoms ...


I thought they were gorgeous.
I think I may want to go back in a week or two to have another look?
