                Beautiful @KFF - you have a near encyclopaedic knowledge of fuchsias; are you qualified in botany, or just an enthusiast?

                  Hi Fat controller, not trained at all. Just self taught over about 20 years. I could probably name about 5/600 out of the 16,500 available ones without looking at the FuchsiaFinder web site or a book :)

                    Well, your talent is a rare one, that is for sure! I wouldn't even have known that there were 16,500 available varieties, let alone be able to name any of them. I consider myself lucky that I know it is a fucshia before it flowers :snorky:
