Confusing Fuchsia. Fuchsia paniculata, Lilac Fuchsia, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
When I walked today in the pretty botanical garden of Amsterdam, the gardeners were taking up the Fuchsias to store them for Winter. So I was happy to have taken this photo a few days ago. I'd wanted to post one of a blossom being visited by a Honeybee or by a Hoverfly, but that'll have to wait until next year...
This beautiful shrub is labeled as Fuchsia paniculata Lindl. in Latin and Seringenfuchsia (= Lilac Fuchsia) in Dutch. That's confusing to me because I've understood Lilac Fuchsia to be what is scientifically called Fuchsia arborescens. Anybody out there to enlighten me? Many thanks.
