Pretty! The flowers are a frame for the off-centre leaves.

Lovely!

My grandmother had fuchsia growing beside her front door; I remember popping the flower buds :)

In Poo Poo and the Dragons - the only children's book CS Forrester (he of Hornblower fame) wrote - Poo Poo is a very naughty boy who also likes popping the fuschia buds.

Yes, I think I was gently admonished for doing so :)

I used to do that with my mum's fuchsia!

[trixieleitz]

They're irresistible, aren't they? I want to plant one now, just so that I can pop my own fuchsia buds :)

I love fuschias... we have a couple of elderly ones that we coddle along every year...

Is THAT what fuschia is? Gosh, I never knew that. I love those flowers.

That's fuchsia!

Very nice! They're just coming out?

They are just coming out, although it seems very late in the year to me - and they're in a sunny part of the garden.

Oooh, shiny! I love the bright and vibrant colours.
