I thought perhaps you would be interested in a few photos of our 2015 show.

Thank you so much, John. I love flower show photos! The "Best in Show" fuchsia is an incredibly handsome plant.

Thanks Zuzu

But unfortunately not mine.

Those are just beautiful! Wish I could grow them here, but I've tried several times.

Thanks Carol.

Will hopefully send some of this years when we have it in July.

hi love the photos grow quite a lot of fuchsias like the long tube ones got a 1st in our local garden show in july 2016 i live in wirral cheshire hope you like the photo of my fuchsias i call them daddy bear,mummy bear and baby bear

Very impressive, Janet -- the photo and the names.

I'm totally envious. I love fuchsias, I just can't grow them here in Houston, TX.

hi everyone ive tried to grow fancy ones, sent off to a fuchsia specialist paid lot of money for 6 plugs they never did anything at all! very disappointing
I bought lots trailing ones and bush fuchsias instead from asda or morrisons and tesco supermarket. Also from the discount bargains section in garden centres.They can be difficult plants to grow sometimes
ive lost quite a few,seem to like shade part of the day they all grow outside in the garden
i got 2 climbers lady boothby and the new pink fizz that still a plug, lady boothby is 6ft and flowers nearly all year but likes being in a veranda or covered area and lots of liquid feed weekly during spring and summer time
i going to stick to popular ones in the supermarket cant go wrong such lovely colours

hi 2nd message just got my son to load up these photos
one of my fuchsia called shrimp, and one at tatton park show 2016

Hi Janet.

Your fuchsia is actually called Shrimp Cocktail. It doesn't really matter what you call them as long as you like them. I will try to get hold of some photo's of our show this year, as I didn't take any myself.

This is one of my new releases this year, and has just gone on sale at Little Brook Fuchsia Nursery. It's called "Samantha's Smile"

hi john yes your right it is shrimp cocktail lovely colours, your fuchsia really pretty first person spoke to in uk, i live up in wallasey wirral, there are photos of my garden in all things gardening, if you like to view them.maybe you have some photos as well we could share
its a real wet night here. I went to Garden club tonight we had a speaker talking about winter bedding plants and bulbs with slides very good been going years, won lots of cups and best in show few times. my friend won it this year and 3 cups! (just speaking to her now) do you go to a garden club? nice to chat with you janet

Hi Janet.

Sorry about the delay answering. Got a bit of health problems at the moment. Trying to get them sorted. I don't take many photo's I'm afraid. As you can see my main interest is hybridising fuchsias. I mainly deal with Little Brook fuchsia nursery. If you go on their website you can see most of my plants. Yes I belong to 5 clubs down here including the Clacton and district fuchsia society. Up to recently I used to do talks, but what with my health and caring for my disabled wife I have had to give them up. Nice to see another Brit with this great site. Hope to talk again soon.

John.
