Fuchsia Happy Wedding Day
« on: August 19, 2008, 17:40:45 »
With thanks to Jo for the cuttings, this is one of the plants I have grown for my daughter's wedding this Saturday.  I've brought it indoors today because I don't want the blooms to be spoilt by the rain. :)  G x

Georgie, that looks beautiful, what a lovely name for a plant.  I hope the day goes really well and wish your daughter and future son in law every happiness.  The weather is looking better for the weekend at the moment, I will keep my fingers crossed and look forward to hearing all about it next week.

Have a wonderful day all of you, will be thinking of you.

T.

Thanks Jo.  It's all down to the quality of the cutting rather than any expertise on my part.   ;D

OMG!!!!   I've gone green with envy!!!!   I loooooooooove fuchsias & have a Happy Wedding Day growing in a brand spanking new manger-style window box under my kitchen window.   I wish it had as many healthy blooms as yours.   

Can I ask what size pot yours is growing in please, as I made seperate mine out of the window box and re-pot it up on it's own.

Hi CC.  It's in a 10" pot at the moment.  I always grow my Fuchsias in individual pots, that way they are not competing with other plants for food and water.  Good luck with yours.   :)

Many thanks, Honeybee.

We had a wonderful day: the sun shone, everything went off without a hitch and everyone said they had a great time.  I couldn't have asked for more and yes, I will post some photos when I get them.   ;D
