Back to the Fuchsia?

That's quite a collection, Sticki, I love Annabel and Blackie. Wish I was near enough to come to the show! I bet the displays will be inspiring . . .

yes hopefully i will get some really nice photos to show you! these were somehow difficult to get a good picture

I love the 3rd & 4th selection..and your title for the blog .lol :o)

Lovely:)

thanks joanella and nana d
i need to have another go at the photos cos they dont do the fuchsias justice, that holly's beauty is such a delicate and pretty colour.

Ooohh! Luverly! You kept these beauties well hidden! I used to grow Devonshire Dumpling, I must grow fuchsias again, you've inspired me!

i think they are beautiful but i have a lot to learn about them yet, in particular where best to display them!!

Lovely collection there Sticki :)

Fuchsia's are my favourites..I haven't managed to get a decent pic of my Holly's Beauty,as a whole yet..just a flower,a while ago.. it has been quite slow this year...but I love it..:o).We went to our towns Annual Flower and Veg show,last Sunday..and the 'Fuchsia and Geranium'Society put on a lovely display...took lots of pics,so I will be showing them soon...

thanks pixi
will look forward to your pictures bloomer, thank you.

thanks Sticki..just the last part of the Eden Project to do first..and then I will do the flower show..

i shall look forward to both.

very nice indeed,

Lovely collection Sticki :^)

Myself and hubby Love Fuchsia's I think they are like little ballerina's

i do too cmsue ~ i know just what you mean ~ any suggestions on how to plant them ~ that blackie one is growing quite large but i dont have lots of places to hang the plants up ~ will have to make a special post i think!!??

thank you daylily.

You have a lovely selection of Fuchsias, Sticki ... I struggle to keep mine alive ... some are in half baskets on the house wall ... I must either under or over water I think! Some just drop off in bud ... others turn yellow and die ... perhaps I should read up on them . . . . . . .

I'm trying to learn more about them - so I go to a local fuchsia group, one of the good things about them is that they are so easy to take cuttings and grow on.

Thank you Shirley.

Note to self ... must try harder in the Autumn to keep them through the Winter ........

I put mine in the garage and most of them survived; one or two stayed in the garden and survived!

If I can keep them I'm certain you can.

Time will tell, Sticki! . . . .

Lovely fuchsias and a great title for the Blog, Stiki!

lovely blog, Sticki, thanks for posting it.
I will see you at the show!
I have had very mixed experience with bringing the plants through the winter, especially the ones we've had lately Shirley...
I try to stick to hardy varieties, but some of the fussier ones are hard to resist. My favourite "doers" are Mrs Popple, Beacon and Phyllis. And another pale, nameless one!
"Dorothy Hanley" is also gorgeous, a nice deep colour like Blacky (my Blacky died, boohoo) but smaller flowers.

thank you constance and wasweeding, blackie survived the winter in the garage wasweeding ~ i will try to save a bit for you!!!

Wow , you do like your fuschias and what a lovely collection you have.

thanks rose ~ we have a very good fuchsia nursery near here and I got several very cheaply there as well as at the fuchsia group i go to.

- omitted to say, I'll be there tomorrow some time after 1.30 I think...
we've been entertaining Grandma this weekend, and some friends from Bristol called in at short notice which was great. It made my weekend, but meant I couldn't go along today.
night night! x

Oh what a shame wasweeding I was there today - so sorry I missed you - stroller was there too - she is such a lovely lady. I won two fuchsias in the raffle and made a list of several I would like! Rowberry's have 10 for £5 offer on!
