It's confused then!

its confusing enough for us never mind the plants!

To be honest, it's getting frustrating to me..........

what im most bothered about is i fear there will be some months with nothing out or just dead flowers cos they came out too early and it got cold.
change the words of the nursery rhyme
nature, nature, quite contrary,
how does your garden grow
with buds in in the cold
and flowers so bold
and confusion all in a row row row
confusion all in a row

and all at once i saw a host
...........of dead buds killed by the frost??!!
probably more like edward lear than wordsworth!!!

such as:
'I fell in love with an alien being
Whose skin was jelly - whose teeth were green
She had the big bug eyes and the death-ray glare
Feet like water wings - purple hair
I was over the moon - I asked her back to my place
Then I married the monster - from outer space'

This is my favourite..........

Meanie:
What happened to all the leaves?
31 Dec, 2011
Here in the UK Fuchsia are deciduous shrubs, F.perscandens is an unusual Fuchsia in as much as the flowers emerge from the older woody parts of the plant and not from fresh growth.

Oooohhhh! lol! :>)
Will the leaves start growing back soon? I'm guessing the buds will be flowering very soon, right?
31 Dec, 2011
No sign of leaf buds, and I reckon that the flower buds will get turned to mush by the frosts..........

Meanie:
So, it's turning cold again?
Send the plant here...it was 85ºF/29ºC - 94ºF/35ºC today here in inland San Diego. Unbelievable heat for the 1st day of January!!!

It'll be cool, but strangely no frost in sight yet................
2 Jan, 2012
That's good news for the flower buds...they may bloom after all. :>)
