Pretty colors

Oooh that’s very nice 😊

Looking great! So different to last year too 😍

Thanks Leslie @lesliecole491

Thank you Sharon. Certainly different from normal Fuchsias! 🧡💛 @sharonhayden

Thanks Kerry. It's grown a bit & lots more flowers now. Will need to repot it soon. Do you ever leave yours outside in summer BTW? @kez001uk

@jeatacake I used to but they struggled, alway drying out too much. They do much better for me in the greenhouse where they’re protected by the shade netting

I expect they won't like our windy conditions either! 🌪

On my wish list! Love these 😍

It’s looking so good! 😍 can’t believe it has so many flowers 😮

It's only early days for me with one of these and It's still in the greenhouse, but so far so good 👍 @hayleyaj

Cheers Kerry. I'm amazed too. They seem to just suddenly appear from nowhere! 🤔 @kez001uk

@jeatacake it really is a fascinating little plant. Debating whether it would be happier as a permanent greenhouse resident 🤔

I was only contemplating having it outside from say late May to mid September, not that it'll be very Brazil-like here then 😄 @kez001uk

@jeatacake think I’ll follow suit 😛 our summer is probably colder than their winter 🤣

I think you're right. I'll need to repot it first & May try some cuttings too when it's a bit bigger. Getting more & more flowers now too 👍 @kez001uk

@jeatacake amazing it’s still flowering 😍 I checked mine today after cutting them back virtually to soil level. They’re already huge 😂

Do they only flower in spring? Il, not be cutting mine back until probably next year.
