Honeysuckle Fuschia

Hi All
I am a bit perplexed by this one. I know you can get a Honeysuckle Fuchsia (triphylia?) but my fuchsia is nothing like it.

We planted a bog standard fuchsia into a pot, sorry no name and maybe even a cutting because it was basically a spare. The fuchsia grew like normal and as you can see a normal flower. Later on we had long growth on the stems. Not uncommon in fact most of out fuchsias this year have grown 2-3 times longer in the stems.

Not really worried about the fact that the leaves did not look like a normal fuchsia leaf as I thought perhaps something to do with the normal graft. What did throw me was a flower came out that was yellow /white and identical to a Honeysuckle flower!!!!

I then thought perhaps a honeysuckle seed grew next to the fuchsia, hence 2 plants in 1 pot. I just dug a hole to transplant it and found all the non looking stems ,which the yellow flower (honeysuckle) are in fact part of the fuchsia plant!!

It cannot be a honeysuckle and the real fuchsia flower has no hint of yellow in it. Do you think this is perhaps a freak of something to do with the original grafting?

I am going to leave it now and treat it like a normal fuchsia and cut it back for winter storage.

 

Sorry I uploaded same 2 photos!!!!

 

Not a freak I'm afraid. You have two separate plants in the pot there trogre, a fuchsia and a honeysuckle.

 

Have you taken the pot out and tried to separate the roots? If it's two plants they should separate.
