I have uploaded a small video of two Fuchsias that were bought at a May Day fair to YouTube.

When I planted them one label said 'Giant Sunflower' and even I can see it isn't and the other didn't have a label.

As you can see one is lax in habit, probably a basket variety, with winged flowers. The the other is a very strong upright plant with Thalia type flowers, however the stems are very furry/downy. Any help would be greatly appreciated you will find the video at :

The first one looks very like Fuchsia 'Satellite'. The second one I
don't recognise.
