Fuchsia wrongly named

Bet Hywel will know, he knows most fuchsias

Thanks Clarice. Come on then Hywel - what is it.

Your welcome.

Is it a hardy one,Cinders..if so,could it be Empress of Prussia? It looks a bit like mine,but I know there are lots of others that look similar..Need our expert,Hywel...:o)

I don't think its hardy, and I've no idea what it is. I was hoping Hywel might know but he seems to have forsaken us today.

Probably out walking in his lovely Wales,and who could blame him?

yes. lol

I've come home now lol. I went to a - - - where do you think - a fuchsia nursery of course lol because I wanted some hardy ones.
They didn't have the varieties I wanted so I bought some plant labells insetad lol.

This one looks like Blacky. I'll try and find a pic of mine for you to see.

I'm GLAD to get home. It was hot and the traffic was heavy - a horrendous journey :o(( Not going again (until next year lol)

Oh thanks so much Hywel. Sorry you couldn't get what you wanted today, but weren't you good, just coming home with labels. It has been very humid today I think, not nice really, but we mustn't grumble. Did you have to travel far in that heat then Hywel. I won't go out in it unless I have to.

It was 60 miles away lol and I was glad my agoraphobia didn't play up. I'm going to see if my Blacky buds have opened. I can't find a good pic from last year. They're on my laptop and it's broken :o( I'll post it later on.

That was a long way to go just to be disappointed wasn't it.
Thanks for that, anyway Hywel. look forward to seeing it. I used to have one very similar called Millenium, that was very dark.

I've uploaded a photo now. But if you look at my photo page and click on the tag for fuchsias, you can see 2 more photos of it on page 5 of the fuchsia photos

Lovely fuchsia Blacky

Thanks very much Hywel, I'll have a look.
Thanks Sixpence

Yes Hywel, that looks like it, so its Blackie. You are a star. Thanks.

I've just seen a photo of Millenium on google. It looks similar. I've never heard of that one.

I do have another Fuchsia that has not flowered yet, planted in the garden. If it turns out to be Millenium I will send you a piece.

Thank you :o)
