LOST IN THE DETAIL
Last year this time I took some photos of my Fuchsias
This year was really too hot for them and they were not that good.
Here are some of the photos I just got
LOST IN THE DETAIL
Fuchsia (pron.: /ˈfjuːʃə/ few-shə) is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees. The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in about 1696-1697 by the FrenchMinim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).[2][3]

That is so beautiful! I love Fuchsias, but we can grow it here, too hot and dry…
This year it is also too hot here for them to do well. Maybe from now on it will cool a bit down and also rain a bit.
