Hi Debster,

 Glad to hear you got Roesse Blacky into flower, mine have not got to that stage yet, the other Black Fuchsia i said i would send you next year if it did ok, is doing great and just about to flower [will post photo when in full flower].

 I'm looking good for Ayr Flower Show, hopefully i will post photos after.

 allaboutliverpool. its just the name of the Fuchsia, a number of Fuchsias have Black in they name, but most are very deep purple, the one i promised Debster next year is called Black to the Fuchsia.

To increase my number of Fuchsias (lost several last year) I bought several new ones this year. I have 3 which are named  Blacky, will take a pic.  Not a very big flower but I do like the colour.
