Fuchsias

Super lot of fuchsias Hywel.

What wonderful fuchsias! I like the all, but my favourites have to be the ones with dark coloured 'underskirts' such as Blands New Stripe,
Dorothy Henley and of course, Blackie. As for getting excited about your Fuchsias. ..I don't blame you. Yours are gorgeous!

Who couldn't fail to get excited about Fuchsias? I love all yours, Hywel, &, as always, I've saved it in my favourites!

However do you mange to get such clear close ups? For as much as I try I can't reproduce anything like your close ups of Fuchsias! Must be the camera on my phone that's not good enough for such close up work!

Oh Hywel every time you show your Fuchsias I try to choose a favourite but it always changes quickly as I go down the list. How do you get Lena to grow upright? Mine are very lax always. These are Gorgeous! Its encouraging to hear yours are late. My Annabel isn't even showing buds yet! Alice H is always slow.
Some choices: Checkerboard, Maetsukyer, Vera Bradley, etc etc...

As always, love your fuchsia blogs, seeing all the different ones. Putting them on the trellis was a great idea and as you said, really brighton things. :-).

You must have the best collection of Fuchsia s Hywel a credit to you I never tire of looking at them they are all beauties how can you choose a favourite I love them all.

To see them all together in your garden must be quite a sight! I too love the mauve and pale pink ones best of all, Lady Kathleen Spence is very elegant!

Superb!

Thanks for your comments about my plants :)

Sue Lena is trailing on the ground again. I held the branch up to take the photo. I was surprised it came out so well because I had to take it using one hand only.

Balcony I don't use a phone. I use a camera. It's a cheap camera but takes quite good photos. I also enhance them to make them clearer. I don't mind doing that because it's a garden website, not a photography competition, and I think the photos should be as clear as possible :)

Fabulous Fuchsias as always Hywel.

Thank you :)

I can't say which is my favourite they are all fantastic as usual.

I change my mind each time I see them but my favs are always the paler varieties with the mauve inset, so pleased you still have some slow to flower, I purchased a lot of new ones in the springtime and thought I was doing something wrong....

Hywel, they are just wonderful. My favourite......difficult......Blackie I think.

Thank you all for looking at my plants.

I haven't got a favourite Fuchsia. I gave up trying to determine what that was a long time ago lol

Well, I definitely have Fuchsia envy after seeing such lovely ones of yours Hywel. So pretty ... :o)

Thank you Shirley :)

Always interesting to look at your Fuchsias a lot of them you don’t see in general Brookwood Joy was hybridised by Bill Gilbert from Birmingham sadly no longer with us he was an extremely helpful if you needed any help with Fuchsias.
He crossed a lot of good cultivars and did extremely well showing plants at shows.

Wonderful Fuchsias Hywel . . . I don't know how you remember all their names! I do love the trellis, with pots hanging from it.

and why should you change?

lovely blog, you must have them very well labelled or can your remember them all? I cant chose a fav out of those either.

Thank you all :)

Peterathome that's interesting. I like finding our some background information about my plants :)

I know all their names Sheila and SBG lol I can remember them better than I remember the names of people :D
I do have them labelled though, because it identifies them when they are not in flower.

Always love seeing your Fuschia Hywel, you have such a great collection ?

Thank you Dawn :)

Put this in my favourites for future reference, the`re all wonderful Hywel and I love the idea of attaching them to the trellis.

Thank you :)

I love your fuchsias Hywel. Thank you for sharing them with us. Can't think how you managed to tie those pots onto the trellis, must have taken ages. A work of art! Did you know that some strange people absolutely hate fuchsias? I entered one for a show once & the judge didn't look at any of the exhibits, just passed them by & went on to the next class. I'm surprised that they were allowed to do that ( it wasn't a case of them being below par), they were OK plants.

They a re all very nice! Hard too choose a favorite!

Thank you both :)

I tied them on with wire

I know some people don't like Fuchsias. One local nursery has stopped selling them because they are 'out of fashion'
I'm surprised the judge ignored them. I didn't think they'd be allowed to do that.

They are stunning...and I love your blogs Hywel. Always think that they look like ballerinas.

Don't change your fuchsia blogs ! I have no idea what any of mine are called apart from the one you identified months ago :)

Lady in Grey is my favourite :)

Thanks :)
It's difficult to identify a fuchsia because there are so many similar ones.
Glad you like Lady in Grey :)

What a fantastic fuchsia display, I could not say which would be my favourite because each has a beauty all of its own, well done for growing such perfect plants, looking forward to seeing your next blog, with the late comers, going on my favourites...

Thanks ... I have no favs, I just like them all :)
