Title: And Fuschias how they should be seen!
Post by: rosebud on August 07, 2005, 23:13:26
These are pictures of the Fuschia I put on a couple of days ago, but I should have waited until today because they look even better and more beautiful  :)

Rosebud I know that post was to Supernan but I say it is never enough enough if you are talking about fu*hsias :) I was looking at mine again tonight and I consider there are some very pretty ones but as already mentioned I only know a few names. Lorna.

My word Mary 47 fuchsias :o - I haven't had a head count but I am sure I don't come anywhere near that :)  Anyway, there's no stopping me now - here are a few basket varieties that you may or may not have tried.

Gardengirl. The fu*hsias are so beautiful I am printing out  the posts from you and Rosebud so that come spring I can be armed with names that I will get. I really must get the basket ones!! I do have a fu*chsia grower near me, in fact the lady concerned  is a person I knew from the time when I worked. Methinks I must pay a visit ,. Thank you both for the lovely photos.; nice bright start  to the day, chores won't seem so bad!! Lorna.

Pat and Mary, are they all hardy fuschias?  They are all gorgeous and put my 2 lovely specimens to shame!  I have no idea of the name of mine but the flowers are long and slender, but I am rather taken with your voluptuous flowers.

Only the ones that are planted in the garden are the hardy ones Emma.  The baskets come into the greenhouse to over winter and when they start to get really woody I start them again with cuttings.

i do love me fushcias.  i planted some earlier this year but for some reason these ones just do not seem to want to take off  :'(  i think maybe ive put them where theres too much sun but i dont think the lack of raindrops has helped much either.  theres only so much you can do with a watering can!
