Fuchsia ‘Lady Boothby’

I love this Fuchsia and it propagates so easily from cuttings too.

I have this one Karen curtesy of Shirley and it is huge and came through the winter!
It is also my mother's maiden name.

Rose, I'm pleased yours is growing well. I now have three of them around the garden and the Bees are loving the flowers.

Ha! I got stung by I bee recently as I tried to wrestle the obelisk off the Fuchsia. It was sleeping in the plant, poor thing. But it kept its sting so should be fine. My daughter was telling me that worldwide there are far more wasp species that die after singing than bees, but in the UK it’s more the Bees that die. Amazing isn’t it?

Karen, that's a really interesting fact that I didn't know about.
Yesterday we were out in a park and Michael said to me "Don't move" ... there was a Bee right by my ear ... he brushed it away with his hand!

Eek! When I was about 4 one went right into my ear!

Nooo! That must have been horrible for you.

I must have had a really waxy ear! lol!

Beeswax???
