ID PARADE, A LINEUP… FUCHSIA

 

 

 

Doesn’t it look like an identity parade? LOL, just try and pick out THE one…

Fuchsia flowers from the garden. Another variety, even more delicate, smaller and candy pink!

I don’t have a large garden now, most plants are in pots. Hence all the variations of all my favourites.

 

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.

The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier.

He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.

 

The vast majority of garden hybrids have descended from a few parent species.
