Red Rose Bud
Ruby Tuesday again and I am posting a Rose and a Dahlia, how predictable, even more so if there was a Daylily, too. I almost posted this morning but decided to wait and take my camera to work. There were quite a few red things on the farm but decided on this red rose bud. This is a ‘Mister Lincoln’ hybrid tea rose. There were several other red roses blooming but this picture came out the best. It was lunch and the shadows were a bit harsh at midday. ‘Mr. Lincoln’ was introduced in 1965 and was an All-American Rose Selection for that year. It really is a nice rose to grow; it is pretty much a classic now. It has a strong fragrance and a petal count of 35. I have been treating Ruby Tuesday as kind of an assignment and I am glad it made me pick up my camera today. ‘Mr. Lincoln’ has been posted on this blog before.
Orchid Dahlia
Dahlia 'Marie Schnugg'
(DAHL-ya)
This was a new one on me. It certainly was an unusual flower. The color was great and once you get over the novelty effect it is quite nicely proportioned. We are going to try and go to the Long Island Dahlia Show this weekend; it is at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. I actually stumbled on it several years ago and it had quite an impact. I love going to flower exhibitions. The flower shows in the spring are okay but they are commercial in nature. The judging and all the different gardeners getting together really can be fun. I am looking forward to it.
Thanks for visiting. For more Ruby Tuesday and red stuff visit the teach @

Roses and Dahalias some of my favorite flowers. Great pictures you really captured the theme of Ruby Tuesday.
Wow. That is one cool Dahlia!
Both flowers were so beautiful, but the dahlia looks way much better!
Mine's here.
Beautiful! Love your photos!
Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks!
That dahlia is a new one on me, too, but it sure is a neat flower. I like your rosebud shot, too.
The orchid dahlia is fascinating! I've never seen one before.
WOW! Such a beauty! nice shot as always:) Mine is posted HERE! Drop by if you get a chance;)
Those are beautiful rose and gorgeous Dahlia!
The dahlia gets my vote too -- especially in the first view. The intricacy of the center is what does it for me. Ironic since that's not the red part. But it is what it is.
Nicely done!
The second shot is fabulous!
Haven't visited in several days and so happy I stopped by today. I LOVE your flower photography. It is so sensitive and delicate and so perfectly lit. Your study of the rosebud is really perfect. Thanks a lot for a lovely show. And the dahlias rock as well.
