Not so good now, only about a quarter the amount of flowers. A pic: http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/q...uschia.jpgmark mark |

Am thinking of moving a couple to a lighter warmer spot. However, they carried their foliage all winter, so maybe they are just a bit exhausted. Should be the other way round! Foliage is a benefit, not a burden - it manufactures the energy for all the other stuff. -- Kay |

Strangely mine have loads of flowers, but there leaves are now very sparse, I hope that does not mean I will have a lean year next year. -- Please reply to group,emails to designated address are never read. |

It had a real bashing in the winter, survived but sulked for a long time. I don't think the others have been quite as floriferous, either, other than a variegated one with pale pink 'pagoda' type flowers which is just covered atm. I can't remember its name but it seems almost to have thrived on the horrible winter, though it's a bit more sheltered than some others. -- Sacha Its looks like I am not alone re. sulking Fuchsias :-) maybe a warm and sunny autumn will put a smile back on their faces. We have lots of fruit and nuts to make up for the lack of flowers :-) kate |
