Lovely shots! I used to have Fushias in hanging baskets on each side of my porch when I lived in Oregon. Tried growing them in CA and it was just too hot! They are gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the fuchsias and great information too. I didn't realize they were from the evening primrose family. The quote is perfect for this flower.
