On Sunday, November 23, 2025 we adorned Ruby the Camellia with 400+ mini Christmas lights. (We won't light her up until after Thanksgiving). I'll let her do another selfie when we turn on her lights.
While adorning her we noticed she has a zillion buds on her
her time to bloom/shine is between November and February. Sometimes she blooms twice
This is her very first bloom of the season.
Ruby is looking lovely. Looking forward to seeing her lit up.
ReplyDeleteNature surely has the best displays. And that shrub will bless you with such a show.

Ruby is beautiful. take a photo of her at night with the lights on using night mode. wish I were there to do that
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous selfie of you, Ruby, and we can't wait to see you lit up with lights!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be very fun when that is turned on for the lights to show. There will be a bright spot in the neighborhood after dark. We look forward to seeing the picture.
