Title: Fuchsia Magellanica (thanks Tony Bloke)
Post by: Georgie on July 25, 2009, 19:24:06: Tony Bloke was kind enough to send me some cuttings earlier this year. I tried some in compost and some in water but only the ones in water rooted. I now have three nice little plants in five inch pots and the first flowers came out today. (They have been throwing out buds pretty much since I got them but I've been pinching them out in favour of roots.) So here's the proof I didn't kill them. ;D

The flowers

BTW, I'm still very keen to get my hands on a F.Magellania var. molinae so if anone out there has one, I'd love a cutting please. I have lots I could send in return. :)

Post by: cacran on July 31, 2009, 17:47:33: I have a fuchsia in a hanging basket. It has lovely double flowers. Can I take cuttings of this for next years hanging basket or is this the wrong type? If I can, how would I go about it? ???
