Ribes speciosum - 2014 (Ribes speciosum)

A flowering currant that thinks it's a fuchsia!
Thorny shrub, growing to six feet in full sun. It positively glows in the evening sun

Hummingbirds on the Island love these. We have several on the property.

I bought this shrub only a few months ago after seeing it on here. It is in flower now, but can't wait to see it grow this big.

Michaella - they are fast growers. This one is only five years old.

It does look like a Fuchsia, very attractive.
