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. How right you are!! Brilliant photo and such beautiful fu*hsias. As you say even better after a few more days. Thank you. Lorna.

Thats a super one, Royal Mosaic I think. I have that in my garden too.

Hi supernan, i do have all but one of the fuschias you have and lots more besides  ;D ;D ;D ;D.  I am not sure of some of the names of them ,QUASAR we have had for years it is one of my favourites, Have you got the one called MILLENIUM S N. that really is lovely, and one called BLACKEE, I have one called DARK EYES which i like a lot, i had some really beautiful ones given to me this year and they are all stunners, i must say i am addicted to the lovely flowers they are all so beautiful.Enough enough.  ::).    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

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.

Supernan , i have a VERY large cerise coloured one just plain any ideas what it could be called??.

Absolutely beautiful fuchsias Rosebud, what a lovely flower :)

Here are a couple of garden hardy fuchsias which I would thoroughly recommend
Dr. Foster
Nicola Jane

Hi Pat ,i have got Nicola Jane , but not not Dr Foster thank you .I have 47 fuchias,and i think they are all beauties Pat truth is i am addicted to them ;).
I must make an appointment to see somebody ;D ;D ;D. I shall go and find that Dr Foster in the spring, won`t find much now, we went over Van Hagues yesterday and not much of interest there at all.

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.
Seventh Heaven
Rose of Denmark
Pink Marshmallow

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.

Hi Emma, just the same as pat said really,but two left outside survived last winter.

Well should any little bits fall off....... ::) ;D

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!

Emma, you are very welcome to some cuttings ,i have some beauties called California dreamers rather large and blousey just like me  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. I have so many different ones what sort do you prefer, basket /tub ,or hardy , or just lovely garden ones,just feed water &deadhead thats all they ask. send me a PM Emma.
