Fuschia Carmel Blue

That's a beauty, unusual colour!

I love this Fuchsia,Gralew..and once "aquired" a cutting from one..but it didn't survive! serves me right,I guess :o)

why's that Bloomer, did you pinch that cutting? ;)

You don't mince your words,do you Karen ? ..in a word ..yes ! Lol.

Great when you have the gall to admit your Guilt Sandra lol we were in B&Q yesterday and I saw a lady with an armful of Fuschias just like yours Val and they were marked down from £9 00 to £2. 00 what bargains eh!!

Well,you have to have a good memory to lie,Carole..Lol.
Did you buy anything? ..I agree,a real bargain:o)

Sorry, you can take the girl out of Yorkshire but........;O)

Lovely delicate fuchsia. I've never grown one from a cutting ....pinched or otherwise. Will attempt to do that one day .....

Lol,Karen...very true :o) ..

Glad i'm not the only one to "aquire" cuttings Bloomer! my OH disowns me when i say "Ooh thats nice, and look round to see of there's anyone spying on me ! I've attempted some cuttings this year and up to now they seem to have taken, keep giving them a little gentle tug! :)))))
Think mine only cost me a couple of pounds from a little nursery on a day out

I think a few of us have done that,Val..my first Euonymous
came from a landscaped area of a Supermarket! ..I now have five from it.I adopted their slogan of a B0G0FF ..to my own version..of POGFF..(pinch one,get five free ) LOl...there,my sins have come to light :o)

I have done it myself, only on council owned plants though. None of them have taken so far, I think I'd need to keep a small pair of scissors and a plastic bag in my pocket for that!

I used to work at that Supermarket,Karen,so looked on it as part of the perks! Lol..hope you have a big enough pocket! :o)

You crack me up Bloomer, keep it up :))))))))

Better than being miserable,Val ..:o)))

You can add me to your list to make a Trio lol

I bet there will be lots more who have done the same,Carole..the list could be very long ! :o)

no wonder the plants at B&Q look moth eaten at times lol

Lol,Carole..especially on 10% day! ..must say,I've never done that,so stop putting ideas into my head ! :o))

You dont need me to put ideas in your head Sandra, you have lots of your own lol

Hate to admit this, but i've "nipped" a couple of carnation bits from B&Q. Only done it once tho! got too much earache from OH!!!

Enough for both of us Carole ! Lol
...........
So that was you on Crime watch,then,Val ? :o))

Thats why my avatar is a rose, daren't risk the chance of being hauled in front the big burly security bloke, he's probably a GoYer in disguise :))))

Lol,Val,he might have a lovely garden himself ! don't worry,I won't 'grass' you up.(terrible pun)..:o)

Lovely fushcia......
Yep I've done it too seeds from a park in Hammersmith didn't have a clue what the plant was turned into a siberian iris :-) and my ceonothus was from a cutting from a council garden in our town centre, just helping with the pruning :-)
Your POGFF made me laugh Bloomer :-))

ha ha,Simbad..not easy to say either,is it ? ..and I wonder how many of us have taken seedheads,and only had a tissue to put them in ? ..finding them weeks after ,in the bottom of a handbag,shrivelled to dust? ..come on you lot,own up ! :o))))

Now thats so weird the only thing I could find to put them in was a tissue too,lol :-))
There's a lovely viburnum outside the council offices too that really needs a bit of pruning, trouble is its on a main road, mmmmm maybe I should buy a hoodie :-))))

What,to hide beneath,or put your ill gotten gains in ? :o))

To hide under so no one recognises me,lol, but yes could see how it could be useful for hiding the odd cutting:-))))

I can see how suspicious that would look,if all supposedly mature ladies descended on them wearing hoodies! ..I can see the "forbidden " sign now,Simbad..Lol

LOL ,the pictures going through my mind :-)))

ha ha,all of us lined up ,after being thrown out :o)
Headlines in media.." Grows on you" gang ,grabbed in B & Q ! :o)))))

How come my Carmel Blue fuschia has come down to "Grows on you gang" and hoodies. Must admit my pics have caused a stir, with you lot. Have enjoyed it reading them all!!!!!! :))))))))

I'm sure you will have noticed by now,how we like to go off topic,Val....more often than not :o)))
