Forget-me- not Fuchsia

This is the logo for Alzehmeirs as my own Mum had this dreadful illness,I help to grow on this delightful fuchsia for the garden she was cared for before she sadly passed away 2wks after my dad.I have nice thought in my head she died of a broken heart.

Keep this fuchsia over the winter shall be takinglush cuttings soon to share for next yrs fundraiser.

 

Nice thought Scotkat and a lovely fuchia I always think when a couple pass away within a short time of each other it's because of a broken heart it happens too often for it to be a coincidence

 

When your cuttings are ready for posting, I would be more than happy to buy one of you for your fundraising.

 

Sally thankyou be better now waiting untill spring of next year as cuttings be more established.How do I contact you my e-mail private to GC.

 

Yes Sally.

 

My Mum had Alzheimer's too - she died 2 years ago. Same as Sally, I'd be only too glad to do the same as her. I'll PM you my address.

 

All three of us got Mum had Alzheimers my Mum passed away 1st March of this yr and dad 11thfeb.

I really did not grieve 9yr ago as Mum was still ther but by that time in care as we could no longer look after her as Mum was my dads carer as he had taken a stroke before her illness.

Then I took over my Mums roll,I like to keep in touch with dementai support group.

Only to happy to pass on the Forget-me-not fuchsias.

I help to grow the plants along its the support group that I shall ask about costs.

We are attending a stovie dance fundraiser on Friday night funds for Macmillan nurses and Alzeheimer's.Thankyou Sally and Dendrobium.

 

Forget me not had her hair cut for her long rest.

But you can now see she is starting to grow again.

 

This is such a lovely idea Scotkat - would you please put me down for a cutting or two

 

scotkart i would like one of your cuttings as well and could you tell me how to lock after them thank you

 

High Kype I have mailed you .
Forget -me not is a single fuchsia and she is no ta hardy fuchsia in the winter.
You need to protect here from all winter frosts.

 

thank you scotkart do i keep it in the greenhouse or will i bring her into the house

 

Depends how bad a winter it is going to be.

Although I have unheated greenhouses with bubblewrap lost all my fuchsias last winter.

Except my container of th enamed fuchsia forget-me-not which I grow an nurture for our local hospital garden.

This year she is now in my conservatory growing merrily for cuttings.

Think I will not take the chance and put her back in greenhouse shall keep in doors and jus tspray her to kee p her ticking over.

Although fuchsias tend to like a rest period.

 

dear scotkat
sorry to hear of your dreadful loss,keep your chin up,things do get better.
would also love to buy a cutting,
our dad also died same way
love to you kathy3

 

I only lost one out of 5 last year in an unheated greenhouse, hidden underneath newspaper - but I expect we werent quite so frosted out as you up there Kath!
