Ruby Tuesday ~ floral edition

An annual: I bought this Double Impatiens plant yesterday to put in a black "kettle" next to the garage.
I think I may have had Ruby Tuesday in the back of my mind, don't you?

And a perennial: I really need more perennials for my not-quite-ready-for-spring flower garden. They do make life easier.
Does this shade of pink qualify for a Ruby Tuesday photo? I hope so.


To see many more Ruby Tuesday photos, visit our hostess, Mary T, at Work of the Poet.

Patti, the double impatiens is wonderful for RT and the pink flower is perfect too! :) Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Both flowers are lovely, Patti. I would definitely encourage you to plant mostly perennials in your garden but don't forget those beautiful double impatiens!

Wow what lovely pictures. Makes me me miss my garden.

Oh, I haven't bought any impatiens yet this year. Those are lovely, perfect for Ruby Tuesday.

And those dianthus look like ones I have in my garden! Fun to mix perennials with annuals.

Nice purple flowers. :D

Seeing Red everywhere. This Ruby-ness has taken hold. Love the impatiences and the purple, I think if you mix two color, one being red, that color is born. So works for me. Happy RT. Ruby's are up on Garden site and At home Site. Enjoy.

I need to get myself to the nursery to pick up some bedding plants too.
Hugs and blessings,

Very purty, Princess Patti!

I have a few pink petunias in my small collection of flowers but no red ones I'm afraid.

Wonderful addition to your garden! I love them. Have a great day, Patti :)
