Last Hurrah
« on: October 28, 2006, 09:32:00 AM »
These are the last two blooms of my fuchsia for this year as I see no more buds forming. :(    Rest well little girl and I'll be awaiting your return next Spring :-)~

Beauties for sure O0

Around here, they are given as gifts around mothers day, very pricey and don't last all that long.

Nice ones Mike!

Isn't the winter season just so irritating? Garden gets boring, it gets dark so early, and where did I leave my sweater?

I want to try spme of those next year, but I have so little shady spots to play with.

Cheers,

Mike

Some fuchsia's tolerate full sun. Just look at the labels when you are purchasing them. I have a variety I bought a few years ago that has a variegated leaf and loves the sun.

Cheers,

I have always loved fuschias - my mom used to have them when I was a kid.  I've not had much luck with them for some reason.  Those are gorgeous.  My DD is sitting here and she thought they were silk!

Good one Joanne!
We are spoiled as heck.  I do miss the long warm days though.  A long season does spoil you!
The short days trigger many plant to give it up!
