So here we are, our first Ruby Tuesday in April. Traveling around the neighborhood a lot of flowers are blossoming. These below were quite unusual but they were RED so I took photos.
These RED flowers looked like roses. But roses don't blossom in April. do they? I think they are a special kind of rose. Does anyone know its name?
Since this is the Ruby Tuesday before Passover and Easter I'd like to wish all my friends who are celebrating:

Oh I envy your beautiful red flowers! I am no sure though what kind of roses...or if they are roses, im sure thought they are pretty :)
Those are unusual, and very lovely.
Thanks for the Passover good wishes, and a very happy Easter to you too.
Here's my entry this week - can someone stick it on the linkie for me if you get it up please? It's late and I have to head up to bed - I've got a ton of Passover seder cooking to do tomorrow (who me, panic?)!

I have also posted red flowers.
Thanks for the Pesach greetings!
Gorgeous flowers. I would enjoy viewing a bed of fauna in the front yard...the early April blooms sing Spring!
No linky yet, but here's mine:

Is that a camelia in the second shot? Nice one! But I really love the whatever-they-are's in the top photo.
Sicne Mr. Linky's apparently AWOL, I'll just do what everybody else is doing Ruby Tuesday #33: I Don't Know What It Is Either Redux
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some friends jumping off a bridge I need to catch up with.
I can't see Mr Linky either. Here is my link:

Thanks for the flowers, Mary, they kind of illuminate our grey weather. Spring is late, here.
I would say that your second flowers are camellia. But I'm not a speciallist.
Happy Ruby Tuesday, Mary.
Dear teach Mary,
Some beauties you've gathered today.
I can't believe that roses are blossoming in April, New York.
I think India and Australia have roses this time of the year.
Happy paaske. That is Norwegian for Easter and Pesach.

Such beautiful colors! Mine is up here;

Gorgeous red flowers. I think roses bloom in June, but I'm no expert. ;-)

Happy Easter to you, MaryT!
Love your red flowers.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Those are pretty flowers!
Thank you for the good wishes, Mary.
Love this season, with its flowers! I see a lot of yellows, pinks and purples, but not so many reds yet. I also posted a flower.
Hi Mary,
Love those first vibrant red flowers! I think Mojo might just be right about the second ones.
I posted the red buds of Verbena. Must be a flower week. :)
Happy Easter and Passover to everyone!
Pretty flowers, but I'm not sure what they are. I hope you brought some home to enjoy.

Pretty flowers Mary!
Wishing you a Happy Easter too.
Beautiful flowers, Mary. We don't see much red until later in the season.
I have an idea for a photo meme, come take a look and see what you think:

Beautiful flowers. Our Bougainvillea down here is just amazing this year. Happy Easter to you too.
Camellias? Ironically, a show on HGTV last night had the landscaper buying them, and that looks like them. The guys specifically stated that they are used in place of roses where roses won't grow due to too much shade.
What are the first flowers? They are yummy!

I love that first flower...
Very sweet looking roses you've got!
Happy Easter to you this weekend Mary! :-)
The flowers in the 2nd pic look like those "flowers" found on cakes! ;)
Happy RT!
Entry for this week: my favourite food!
Oh, glorious flowers! Only my crocus are in bloom. Still waiting for the daffies and then the two-lips. :-)
It was only 43 and rainy all day today. Ugh.
yep, I vote with Mojo. They are boldly beautiful!! Happy holidays to you also!
i am not really versed when it comes to blooms sorry, but they are pretty unusual and pretty:)
They look like roses to me. Here in Singapore, roses blooms all year round.
It's my mother-in-law's 92nd birthday. Yes.... 92 years old! My father-in-law is 95. :)
In Chinese culture, the birthday girl /boy has red eggs and a bowl of Longevity noodles on their birthday.
Unfortunately, we're having another touch of winter here and it's too cold to plant anything.
I love the first shot! The red is so vivid!! It screams sprintime.
Beautiful flowers! Not sure what that flower is, but definately not a rose.
Your flowers are just beautiful.
This is my first Ruby Tuesday..thank you so much for hosting such a fun thing. I have a LOT of reds...my fav. color, so I will be with you for awhile.

Lovely red flowers! How delightful Spring is bursting out all over ;--)
Happy Passover and Easter to YOU and yours too.
Hugs and blessings,
So pretty! It always amazes me the difference that a mere two hours makes. You seem so much more fully into Spring than we are here. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
We've done it again, Mary! You're flowers are GORGEOUS! I love those first tulips!
What beautiful flower photographs! The second photo looks like camelias.
How delightful!
Thank you for the Pesach wishes.
Happy Easter. Happy Pesach.
glorious photos! I especially love the first one
These red flowers have quite a zing to them! Looking great!
Happy Easter to you!
Looking at all this blooming around me is like a rebirth to me !
Those are all gorgeous Mary!
Those flowers are worth several walks!
Those roses are called "Pfingstrosen" in German, if I'm not totally wrong.
They are not really roses though.
Lovely and beautiful though :)!
you have no idea how much i am enjoying looking for and snapping red things in my neighbourhood. hugs to you all and happy passover and easter too.
Beautiful red red flowers! Espcially the first photo.
Happy Easter!
Beautiful flowers Mary!
Happy Easter

to all

Hi Mary, lovely flowers! I have no idea what the first one is, but I know for sure the second photo is of Camellias. Have a lovely Ruby Tuesday and a wonderful Easter/Passover. :)
PS...will visit everyone when I get up in the morning. :)
Ruby's around my neighborhood
Oh these are gorgeous! So clear and so ruby red! Thanks! Lu
Hi Mary,
They are beautiful RED roses. Well, they look like roses anyway. I have no idea if they are or not, but they are pretty! Have a great day!!
