I was supprised today to see these fuchsias in flower, most are still
trying to grow back after the bad winter.

Nice to see them flowering, not trying to put a damper on them but I
have heard that sometimes in a last burst of life before keeling over,
plants will try to flower and set seed before heading for the compost
heap. Might help to give them some love and attention! :-)

I have had 'Barbara Windsor' and ' swanley gem' producing flowers
already. Which is a bit of a pest as I would like them to put on a bit
more growth first.

No problem with these, shooting all over the place, just lost a foot
or so of top growth.
