Lovely flowers, Bob! :-))

I have another couple of standard Fuchsias Beacon that I've started off this year as well as the two old ones, now at least 7 or 8 years old. They are all of Beacon. These standards are grown to 1m/3ft before the head is allowed to form so that they reach out over the balcony railings. I would have no room to grow them otherwise.

I also have 5 hanging baskets with 5 Fuchsias in each one. These I grew for the first time last year, they survived the winter & have been flowering all summer.
