Well done Nick - where do you keep your fuchsias? Mine are growing well, but no signs of flowers yet.

These were in the greenhouse but I lost a couple although some of the same varieties out side are coming in to leaf I suspect they got stressed in the extreme heat last year.

I've got geraniums in flowers as well I'll see if I can find a foto.

Well done Nick, she's lovely. I just grow the hardy outdoor varieties and they well earn their space. All coming into leaf now so will be waiting a wee while for flowers.

I've got the hardy type too. They are great for later in the year when a lot of flowers have gone over.

Thanks Nick.

I'm growing hothouse Fuschias (well they will be up here!) for the greenhouse, for a bit of colour and they are bigish plants but no flowers yet. The hardy fuschia still looks dead, but got a bit of green on it.

I still have geraniums in flower (well pelagoniums). They've been in the greenhouse since last summer and have been in flower all winter. I have been pretty impressed with them.

You''ll find this hard to believe but my fuschias flowered all winter long and for the second year didn't drop their leaves.... How strange
