    Hello,

    My first post here and had an interesting time reading some of the other posts here, a great place!

    I bought this fuchsia recently and it was not labelled and it was the last one left. The colours on the photos are not the best but the sepals are mid pink and the corolla is a cerise like colour. It is about 1 foot high at present and just purchased.

    Photos below thanks to kalmia - Ta!

    Thanks

    Welcome to GC Biker, I think it might be Eva Boerg, a hardy, semi trailer but some one else with a greater knowldge of Fuchsias than me may have a different idea.

    thanks for that and for the welcome. It seems rather more like an upright in habit so far but you may be right. My photos are not the best I realise! I'll look forward to other peoples ideas.

    cheers

    Yes, I'd looked at that site walnut and still unsure. Perhaps Paula Jane? Duh LOL

    and just for the record is it possible to post a photo directly on here?

    Thanks
