A Fantasy of Fuchsias (or The Neglected Fuchsias of 2015)

Choose your own title …

Lots of photos :o(

Because other things took priority this summer, my Fuchsias have suffered some neglect, in that they only got watered and dead headed when I could get round to it,
but they actually put on a lovely display.

I haven’t been able to show you any photos of them for a long time, but here’s a blog with a few nice ones that flowered during the summer, and into the autumn …

… well, I say a ‘few’ … but you know when I start to show photos of my Fuchsias, I don’t know when to stop ! lol
so you can stop whenever you think you’ve had enough ;o)

I hope I haven’t put too many – they are so beautiful, but I must stop now, or you’ll get fed up lol …

I showed lots of hardy ones in my previous blog, and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing some more of my collection :o)

They are winding down now, ready for their winter’s rest. I hope we get a mild winter because I worry about them ;o)

Its a WOW from me as well Hywel, they really are a wonderful sight, you have some beauties here and judging by your photo's they have done you proud, I think the white and lilac ones are my favourites, they always remind me of ballerina's dancing, lol....

Its easy to see why you have so many - how could you possibly choose favourites? They are fantastic.

Hywel, I began by thinking I liked one more than another, then I'd see another I liked even more, then another, then another. In the end I gave up...they're all gorgeous!

So many Hywel!! That must take some time putting them to bed for the winter, never mind deadheading in the summer! A wonderful selection though and some really unusual ones. I still love Swingtime as my favourite, always have.....thanks for sharing them.

That is as amazing a blog as it is encyclopedic! Where do you find the time to keep track of all their names...as well as deadhead and water? Fantastic. All these beauties and cacti too!
