FUCHSIA'S - 2015

Hi GG,

Thanks

Your Fuchsias aren't late at all, they should just be starting now, alot of mine are just starting to show colour in their buds.

Other Fellow, unfortunately isn't a hardy.

It's like a pale coral pink colour with a feint deeper edge to the petals. Both the tube and sepals are a nice clear white.

 

Peppermint Candy



Mood Indigo

Roesse Blackie



Pink Marshmallow



Blauer Engel

Red Spider



Martins Yellow Surprise

Just a little piccy to show the difference in sizes.
I don't think it's really possible to tell when you see individual pics.



On here there is........

Marcus Graham ( large)
Alice Hoffman ( standard size)
Pumila ( small)

 

Fuchsia Tom West

Just to show that Fuchsias are more than brightly coloured flowers.
Tom West is grown mainly for it's variegated foliage.
When he does flower they are small red/purple Magellanica type flowers.

 

The first couple of flowers, 'Cecile'

 

That looks a healthy specimen - full of flowering potential Freddy and VERY frilly,
Jenny

 

Thanks Jenny. It was the frilly-ness that caught my eye when I was trying to decide which ones to buy. Probably not my first choice regarding colour(s), but to me, it more than makes up with its form

 

A few more today....

Bicentennial



Checkerboard



Paula Jane



Walz Jubelteen



Shrimp Cocktail

 

General Monk



La Campanella

 

I've heard about this happening but never had it in one of my plants before..................

The darker flowers on the left are the true ones " Helen Fahey" the paler ones on the right are where it's sported........



What should I do now as I think this is something a bit different.

I was thinking about contacting someone I know who runs a Fuchsia nursery and seeing what he says.

 

Definitely!
What are you waiting for!!!??

 

Hi "M",

Thanks, I just wanted another opinion.
It really is something a bit special as it holds its flowers up erect and there aren't too many of those around, and each one that has been introduced has come about by sporting.

 

You would know far more about that, than I would - but I do know this - if you know it is special, then don't hesitate: good luck! Can't wait to hear more

 

Could we be witnessing the introduction of a new Fuchsia called 'Anthony Rogers'?

 

Sorry Freddy no........ It's already been bagged by my mum as " Ada "
