Vintage Fuchsias

I so love fuchsias and I always have hanging baskets of them.  My favorite variety are the giant ones with the red caps and the deep purple flowers underneath.  So beautiful!

There are 110 varieties of fuchsias and they are native to South America.  One species is native to the very southern most part of South America in the cool, temperate zone, which would explain why they do so well here in the Pacific Northwest.  The vast majority of fuchsias found in nurseries are descendants of just a few varieties.  

I hope you enjoy this unusual but beautiful flower!
