| Can anyone tell me what this Fuchsia is? It looks a great deal like the one at the top of the Fuchsia page.
Thanks,
Sharon

| The one at the top of the fucshia page is 'Chillerton Beauty' Sharon - Kath:) |

| I bought two lots of fuchsias labelled as 'La Campanella' from two different commercial sources. The plants are quite different. I am content to enjoy the plants without knowing which, if either, is the 'real La Campanella'. I would not however exchange either as as a named cultivar. Has anyone any idea how common mis-labelling of fuchsia plants is? |

| At reputable fuchsia nurseries I have never found a mislabelled plant Ron, but have seen some wrongly named at Garden Centres - Kath:) |

Kath
Both these purchases were from Garden Centres which probably explains it.:) |

| Sharon is the above photo from a 'trailing' fuchsia, (growth hangs downwards) or from an upright growing fuchsia? - Kath:) |

For Ron,
I have a 'Pink La Campanella', but also have pictures of one of a different colour, as on Fuchsiamagic.co.uk . They look like different plants. So perhaps they are like the 'Shadow Dancer' varieties.

| I have a Lena and the flowers on your plant look exactly like mine.

| Hi Kath, I didn't see your question before since it wasn't emailed to me. It is a 'trailing' fuchsia.
I had no idea there were so many varieties of Fuchsias. Thanks,

| Yes it does get confusing, especially when looking at different photographs of fuchsias. The flowers only stay 'perfect' for approx. 4 days and then begin to fade. La Campanella is basically white sepals with a purple corolla and Pink La Campanella has pale carmine sepals and a darker carmine corolla, basically, two tone pink - Kath:) |
