The parent plant of this fuchsia was mislabeled as a Dollar Princess, which it obviously is not. I grew this one from a cutting, and it is now blooming. Does anyone know what the name of this fuchsia is?

Most of the pictures I can find online are not that good, but that one comes the closest. Thank again for helping to identify it for me! :) |

Kendra,
Is your plant upright or does it trail? Machu Pichu is upright. Ariel which is similar is trailing. So I guess it all depends on the growth habit. Hope this helps.
