RECAP of Ruby's Selfie last week
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.


It’s definitely Ruby’s time to shine! Lovely with or without the lights!
ReplyDeleteRuby will shine day or night, blooms in the day and lights in the night. Love your home and is that top window where the trains live? Ruby is a beauty. I love her color.
ReplyDeleteRuby is gorgeous, and I agree, with or without the lights! You have blooms....we have snow! 😁
ReplyDeleteRuby looks so beautiful and festive all lit up for the season!
ReplyDeleteOf course the natural flower is absolutely amazing. And to think that you get a flower bloom during the winter is fantastic. But I will say those colored lights wrapped around the tree are just delightful. My Christmas tree is with colored lights on the inside. I have this thing about white lights, I figure if I want white I have to do is turn on a lamp.

I love everything about this picture! Ruby wasn't where I thought she was in her debut photo. She is adorable... and beautiful all lit up! I have been waiting for this photo and now I am so happy to see her. Her red bow is the perfect touch! Merry, Merry and Happy Holidays!
