Fuchsia perscandens

I should think you are Meanie it looks so healthy and shiny I though the buds looked sticky , have you been polishing them :o))

Nope - they are naturally shiny! It will have a good year this year.

Good for you....enjoy the year.

Nice one Meanie.........

Thanks Ladies!

Well done to you.

It did it all by itself DD - I just gave it a bit of shelter when I moved it.

Lol.

It'll be blooming soon.

It is blooming! It is just rather understated......................

You must be getting some warm weather for it to be blooming so well outdoors.

Warm for the time of year I guess - it's still soddin' freezing as far as I'm concerned though!

I hope it'll warm up more for you! It was 78ºF (26ºC) here yesterday, today will be much warmer and stay warm through the weekend, at least.

I've read and seen on the news on the tv that you've had tons of rain. You need to send some of that rain here! lol! :>)

Delonix you can have as much as you want, fed up with the bl.... rain, you can have too much of a good thing!!
Meanie what will you do when the real Winter comes, lol

"Meanie what will you do when the real Winter comes,"

Curl up and die!!! I've had enough of being cold.

Dottydaisy2:

We definitely need your rain. The drought here is extreme and the weather has been so hot...although, there may be some changes mid next week. .

Meanie:

You definitely need to move here to inland San Diego. It's been so hot this winter...you just can't imagine. This is definitely the hottest winter I've felt in 14 year of living in San Diego, CA.

The last three or four days have been pretty darn hot! 80 - 86ºF (27 - 30ºC). By mid next week we're suppose to get some nice rains from the subtropical jet stream. I just hope and pray the rains get here.

"You definitely need to move here to inland San Diego."

Seriously thinking about Gran Canaria if the economy ever picks up here.

Meanie:

That would be great for you! Gran Canaria has a similar climate to San Diego Although, I believe it's a warmer subtropical climate than San Diego dry subtropical climate.

The economy is the big factor, though, right? It appears like it's never going to get back to normal here. The economy has been horrible here for almost 7 years!

I have no pension (except the state pension) as I've tied my future up in property. So I cannot afford to sell until it picks up properly or the loans are paid in full.
Our government keeps tweaking the figures and saying that things are on the up, but that is not the case on the ground.

It is amazing that the governments say things are getting better....however, I haven't seen it here.

It's amazing how financial reports can be so manipulated!
