Ladies eardrop in red
The fuchsia flower, too ladies eardrop, is a beautiful exotic flower with striking two-tone colors, one of the most widely cultivated flowerplants in the world. There are currently almost 110 recognized species of Fuchsia shrubs with lovely hanging lanternlike flowers in magentas, pinks, purples, and whites.
Many varieties are cultivated for their handsome drooping flowers.
The majority of fuchsia species are native to Central and South America. A small additional number are found on Hispaniola (two species), in New Zealand (three species) and on Tahiti (one species). Most fuchsias are shrubs from 0.2–4 m, but one New Zealand species is unusual in the genus in being a tree, growing up to 12–15 metres tall.
This picture was taken in the botanical gardens of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
