Fuchsia Thalia

Beautiful specimen Meanie...:>)

I agree, doesnt it display nicely

It is a good 'un! Thanks!

Thanks Homebird!

Glorious sight!

That one is a beaut meanie, i have 2, i buy them small in spring and they soon grow, i used to buy them fully grown but were so expensive. They are so bright, arent they :)

Thank you Wagger and Daisydee!
They do grow quickly, but have seemed to be rather slow in doing their stuff this year DD.............

Not enough sunshine Meanie :))))

What sunshine!!!

thats a lovely plant ~ great shape and so many blooms!!

Should have been like this for a couple of months though Sticki!

how long will it last now?

It should bloom up until the cold weather Sticki..........

its a lovely plant, shame our wretched weather has deprived you of 2 months of this tho.

It has been flowering all summer - just not properly like this!

lots of cuttings to give more options next year??

Nah............£1.25 again from the local nursery! Not worth the effort of caring for them at that money.

50p up here!!!

the only difference is the fuchsias i have kept through the winter are much bigger.

To be honest, I've never been happy with the ones (triphylla) that I have overwintered.

i cant get a nice photo of mine but if you saw them you would know why ~ they are not a good shape ~ lovely flowers but the branches/stems go every which way!! i can certainly see your point ~ i dont need to cry over any that die!!

I know that feeling Sticki!
That's the other nice thing about the Triphylla Fuchsias - they shape themselves.......

oh hadnt realised that ~ big bonus!!

just looking at my thalia today ~ nothing like as many flowers as yours!!

You probably don't talk to it nicely enough!

how did you know that!!!

perhaps they are sensitive little plants and they dont like what i say to the slugs???

Get some toads Sticki - never see slugs around here!

i was going to be very rude then but thought i had better not.

i dont have any toads or frogs here ~ too dry???

Pond next year then!!

i will have to make one of those hypertuffa things?? i have 2 small dishes/bird baths at ground level currently.

i would love a pond.

A couple of piles of logs which are never disturbed would be a good idea too. In a shady spot where they can get some rain/hosing.

oh, thats easily solved ~ no problem in this garden ~ thank you!! still playing the music you put on the other blog ~ its lovely.

Fantastic.

Thank you 6d!

Your welcome Meanie.

Hari Lassanai! Which means ......very pretty.

Thank you!
