I love Mood Indigo.
Mine hasn't flowered this year, and still has no buds

 

Hi Michael,

I've got two Mood Indigos, one's flowering one isn't.

To be honest, I'm very disappointed with my Fuchsias this year :(
Only about 35/40 have shown any signs of flowers out of about 120.
I've put it down to the high temperatures we've had from about April onwards and no rain at all for 10 weeks.
A few of them are just starting to show buds now.

I reckon they're about three weeks late as a whole but I've usually had quite a few by now.

 

Seen a few that I would like to source for next year:

Ballet Girl



Bella Rosella


Black Prince


Basseveldse Ezels

 

I hope you get more to flower before the end of summer Anthony.
I don't know how many I've got but very few are flowering, and the ones that are have very few flowers.
I think here it's the lack of sunshine. It's been cloudy most of the time and they have become a bit straggly.

I'm hoping for a nice autumn ...

Could I have an ID on this one please, its hardy and been here since I moved in. Guessing its nothing special though


Alice Hoffman has no buds what so ever and I have no idea where Winston Churchill or dollar princess have gone.. I do have 3 more to open though

 

@Michael Hewett , interested to know where you sourced your 'Hidcote Beauty'? I had them many years ago in a couple of baskets and they did really well, with torrents of flowers. I tried them again a few years ago, but the plants weren't very good and didn't thrive.

 

Hi Linz,

The white one is either " Annabelle " or " Happy Wedding Day " if it shows quite a lot of pink on the sepals it's " Annabelle", also the flowers on " Happy Wedding Day " are extra large, upto 4" across.


The last one is a F. Magellanica hybrid, could be either " Gracilis " ( sends out long arching stems ) or " Riccartonii " is more bushy and is the one you see growing wild in hedges.
