Fuchsias

Hi Davy.
My 2 main shows are [1]the Scottish which is the first weekend in September and [2]Central Scotland the second weekend of September,
I normally do Ayr flower show but due to work unable to make it this year, which is this weekend.
I think you will find a lot of the older cultivars still hold their own on the show bench Shelford, Nellie Nuttall,Tom West, Alison Patricia & Thalia to name just a few.
The newer cultivars don't seem to have the staring power, last for a couple of years then drop out of favour.
Sophire Louise, Ernie, Barbara Reynolds, Border Raider tend to be the bankers.

I will have a look out for some of these you mention and maybe give it a go next year ..

Thanks Bob!! I will PM over in a minute.

Just thought I would share my favourite with you all. I got it from potash nurseries, they had a stand in the RHS tent at the NEC the other month.

Hopefully will be taking some cuttings this year I know it's been around a while....but still lovely!! It's as old as me too!!

Yes please Cosmosguy thsi is really beautiful. If you can spare.

 

No problem Davy, always take far to many cuttings and struggle to find room for them all, let you know what i have once we get the winter over.
