Does anyone have this fuchsia? I would be so happy to trade for fruits or cuttings of it!

I grew some from seed I was able to purchase and the ones from seed are growing much bigger and faster than the ones I was finally able to purchase from Annie's Annuals. The plants arrived in great condition though! I bought them just in case it turns out the seed I bought was not indeed the F. boliviana 'alba'
The foliage of the 'alba' is slightly different from the red. The leaves are just a bit more shiny and a bit more of a brighter green than the red. But they are all still too young to tell for sure.
Everyone is about a foot tall now and as soon as they bloom and I can verify their color, you all will be the first to know!!

if they do turn out to be Alba? please let us know who you got the seed from ?
i don't trust people who sell seed, 98% of the them sell seed that is no good or the wrong seed
and BTW: both my Boliviana's are now 4 ft or taller and i'm hoping for blooms this next season
i also acquired Fuchsia Scarlet Ribbons a cross of F. Boliviana Bolivian Fuchsia (Fuchsia boliviana)
and F. Mary Honeysuckle Fuchsia (Fuchsia 'Mary')
hope to see flowers on it next spring also Smiling
