            I am about to get my first Fuchsia blooms from Miss California. Few of the others are showing buds too :dancy:

            All the cuttings I received are still alive and doing well too.

              Some cracking Fuchsias on show here folks.

              I have 6 different shrub types in the garden and flowered well last year. I cut then back quite hard around 6 weeks ago and they got battered with the late, hard frosts we had and were slow to recover.

              They`re starting to come now though so with a bit of luck, they`ll bloom right through to the back end of the season. Probably a month away from budding just now I`d guess.

              I love Fuchsias. Some of the best out there IMHO.

                Hi Kat.

                Can anyone not like Fuchsias? Almost guaranteed to put out an abundance of flowers and not difficult to keep. Cheap as chips mostly, especially when you blag some free cuttings :heehee:

                Fellow Fifer Kat?

                It's a lovely small Fuchsia with the classic (proper?) Fuchsia blooms.

                  Quite a few of mine have buds on now :biggrin:

                  Miss California has two big buds on which are ready to pop, but I think she's being a diva and keeping me waiting.

                  Am going to check later which of the cuttings have got roots.

                  Love those pots! And what an immaculate area. :) <Thinks of own garden and feels slightly embarrassed>

                  Got quite a few buds on my fuchsias now, but none have bloomed so far - I say that but I've not actually inspected them tonight.
