Fuchsia, Jose Tamerus

She's a corker Hywel. Bet all your fuchsias are in bloom now.

Thank you Sandra.
Unfortunately my Fuchsias are hopeless this year :(
and so are my cacti ...

I have given most of my cacti away....I think we have topped two hundred pound in donations to Paul Sartori charity.
It's all soo wet this year...maybe we will have an Indian summer...

I feel your pain in a way. We've had in the past very cool foggy summers. Sweaters many summer days. I had my potted Saguaro yellow and die from lack of any warmth. That I believe was just in 2008. 2009 too was almost as bad.
Plants like Plumeria didn't even leaf out until latest August.
Winters were pre drought..so It was not good for warmth those years.

Ah, one of your fat ones Hywel, but very beautiful even so.

Hi hywel it's me the cacti buff ...I moved to Canada as threatened ! Glad to see you are still alive and kicking ... it's been over a year !

Thanks for all your comments :)

Hi Cacti66 :) I hope you're enjoying your new home.
I am still around although not as much as I used to be.
Nice to hear from you again :)

Wow is all I can say.
