Most of the plants in our fernery are non-flowering, so these bright Fuchsia flowers caught my attention this week. I couldn’t resist photographing them.
I hope the lifespan isn’t too short as it is such a lovely tree. I also enjoy seeing the birds feed from the flowers and fruit/seeds of the tree. So often, the flowers on our gums are so high up it’s impossible to view them from the ground. Thanks Margaret! Lisa
I love Fuchsia’s but have had varied success in growing them. The hot sun over Summer seems to kill them off, so either I am planting them in the wrong position, or I am not watering them enough. Lisa
Yes, the hot summer will be the first big test. BTW, thank you for being the first to answer in my very very new – and first! – blog!!! Well, still more of a ‘work at progress’ than a blog, but I’m getting there!

Its look like a dancing girl/………….
Yes, I thought so too! They’re quite beautiful. 🙂 Lisa
Very pretty! I used to have a variety like this in our garden but sadly it’s disappeared. Perhaps they have a relatively short lifespan. Pity….
