Fucshia


Fuchsia are know for its pendant, bell shaped flowers .  And they  look especially beautiful in hanging baskets.   They are attractive because their sepals and petals are all brightly coloured.  And they attract a number of insects and birds.  Over a period of time, the plant once native to South America, is seen in many parts of the world, and because of hybridisation , in many different colours!


These were spotted just outside a Peter Rabbit Store in Kendal, UK.

  4. The multitude of colours that you can find Fuschias in is amazing. Makes it difficult to choose which one you will finally end up planting!
