Fuchsia
mkjones_gw

I'm so very thrilled! Blooming!!

The Southgate fuchsia that I recently found has such lovely huge buds, and is doing SO well in its new "woodland" position under the crepe myrtles.

I became very brave and ordered three plugs from an online company, and put them into a hanging basket together, alongside Southgate. Swingtime, Hidcote Beauty and First Love.

First Love is blooming!! Hidcote has buds, and I'm pinching away at Swingtime....=)

I'm so excited to meet some form of success thus far, and my husband says he loves to out the office window and see the lovely baskets....=)
