Do they open out normally? Can't see the problem from this photo.

There has been no frost whatsoever and they are not opening normally, this particular fuchia is one plant in a few in a hanging basket. All other fuchia are growing normally. Fuchia don't normally have four spikes pointing down, there normally oblong before they open. Ill see how they go.

The 'spikes are the under developed outer petals of the Fuchsia flower. Clearly some genetic malformation that will have happened several weeks ago, that's why I thought frosted, possibly in the middle of the night for just a few hours. We were certainly having frosts in may where I live.

The early flowers are often odd as they get frosted in the early formation. its will sort itself out as the season goes on.
