Fuchsia 'Hawkshead'


Fuchsia 'Hawkshead'

Probably my favourite Fuchsia but very tricky to photograph, being white (well, palest pink in truth, but white to the eye from any distance)

If it has a pnk tinge then it's "Alba".
"Hawks head" has green tips Karen...............

Ah, thanks Meanie. I read somewhere that Hawkshead was very pale pink....I wondered why mine seemed to be so white!

I've checked and it definitely has green tips to the outer sepals, but I would say it is also a very pale pink, not pure white! :D Thanks Paul!
