Fuchsia perscandens

First bloom of the year on my Fuchsia perscandens.....................


It is loaded with buds and I'm happy!

I take it that another of the New zealanders? I have a feeling I was given one once but it didn't survive, lack of tree cover here, I don't think it liked constant radiation frosts

Yup - another of the New Zealanders!
Takes a pretty hard frost ok, but hates being in a permanently frozen state. It will survive, but it knocks it back hard and takes time to recover. And as the buds seem to start in autumn it will take them out too.
