          Possibly my favourite fuchsia this year has been this little jewel, Fuchsia Brian Breary; grown from a cutting I got from someone on here early last year (sorry can't remember who), it's grown into a handsome plant this year, especially after potting on into a larger pot and it never stops flowering, even in the winter it has a few on it. It's probably at its peak now and has been for about 2-3 weeks...:dbgrtmb:

              Hi Scotkat; yes that was him, sad to hear that though, hope he is still well...

              I'm sure I can manage a cutting :snork:, would you like me to root it or send you one straight from the plant....:)

              Just come across this great website for us fuchsia lovers; lots of varieties available as rooted cuttings at good prices too, worth a look, although many are out of stock at the moment, perhaps due to the time of year. Also available are a few Brugmansias and Salvias :dbgrtmb:;
