Since you're asking questions - is it fuschia or fuchsia?


Oxford English says Fuchsia (for Fuchs a German botanist).



And it should of course not be pronounced few-shia the way I was taught,
but fooch-sia. Where that's a short oo like foot, not long like boot,
and the ch is like the Scots loch.
