My pears are just beginning to grow and at this stage they are a nice ruby color. They will end up being green with some golden added in but for today they are just right for Ruby Tuesday.
Please visit Mary at Work of the Poet who is the hostess for this weekly meme.
For those of you who wonder why a meme for Tuesday starts on Monday, it’s because most of these memes are international and somewhere out there it’s Tuesday already!

I never knew they were red. Beautiful. š
How cute…just imagining them taking shape
Do you get a lot of edible fruit from them, Ellen?
Yes…some years more then others. I walk around the neighborhood giving them away…
I haven’t yet seen the pear at the beginning of the process, just at the end at a market. The tiny blossoms don’t seem possible to mature into a delicious fruit. Interesting that the stalks under the blossom have the ruby shape of a pear, but merely inverted. Neat!
Looking forward to see the fruit soon. Happy RRT!

Ellen,
They are so precious! I don’t believe I have ever since baby pears until this post.
Have a blessed evening!
They are very pretty-and perfect for Ruby Tuesday.

Very pretty. I had never seen pears-to-be before.
How lovely – to begin as such a bright red. I used to have a pear tree, as a child – I didn’t pay much attention until they were ripe.
I never realized they go from red to green, if anything I’d have guessed the opposite were true. Very cool.

I’ve entered a major international photo competition (details are on my blog) and would be most grateful if you’d click through and rate my portfolio (just click on the stars at the bottom (preferably the 5th star – “fantastic” – LOL), easy peasy, no registration or personal details needed). Thanks so much!
Drooling here!!! In anticipation of the ‘picking’ season to come.
My Ruby Tuesday. I do hope to see you drop by for a visit with me today.

congrats to you and your brother and his wife on the arrival of their Hope!!
my Hope sends hugs š
I love the cupped shaped of those leaves.
ellen, thanks for posting that explanation about why a Tuesday meme starts on Monday! It makes me happy so many people across the globe participate in Ruby Tuesday!
I didn’t know pears were RED first before they turned green…
‘ve never seen a baby pear before. They are so perfect – and red.
How interesting that your pears start out red!
i’ve never seen pears on the tree like this … they look beautiful.

I’ve never seen pears growing and would not have thought this a pear -thanks for educating me. š
Best of luck on your yardsale.
