is the result of the creativity of one of the most successful hybridizer from Germany: Waltraud Dietrich Since the early 90´s this ingenious hybridizer from Munich introduced more than 250 Fuchsias, but lately stopped to do so due to old age. The result of the crossbreeding of “MS Mumm 50” and “Waldis Isabel” is the Hybrid Claudia Denter. It was introduced 2008 and given the name of the 2. Chairwoman and Internet Apointee of the German Fuchsia Society. Claudia Denter is celebrating her birthday this week, and therefore...
read moredo have unquestionable more than sporadic blossoms, at last when spring and the start of the summer was that good as 2014! The requirement for that is- of course- that the plants are watered adequately- but not to much- and given the right amount of fertilizer. The right amount of fertilizer in my opinion is watering them with fertilizer in the water constantly, in this case adding 0,1% of fertilizer. I do change between fertilizers with a high proportion of nitrate versus high proportion of phosphate. Beside that usually...
read moreis a hybrid with orange-colored blossoms of a lengthy form with a very special charm. It´s origin is in Great-Britain, being crossbred by the british hybridizers Len Bielby and Mike Oxtoby and was introduced respectively registered at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in 1990. Among the lineage is the hybrid “Earl of Beaconsfield”, and the resemblance cannot be denied. As an enthusiast of orange-colored Fuchsias there was no way for me to skip that hybrid when i discovered it at the nursery “Fuchsia...
read moreis a hybrid highly to be recommended from the Netherlands. The hybridizers name is Mario de Cooker, a chemist of profession, who occupies himself for more than 25 years up to now with Fuchsias as a hobby. Meanwhile he is president of the NKvF. He is quite strict in evaluating his new hybrids for some years prior to introducing it to the public. “Remembering Claire” was introduced 2008, but i have no clues as to its name. This hybrid is a result of crossbreeding of “Wilson´s Perl” as father and a quite...
read morebecause i am celebrating my birthday this week! I feel very much honored that the renown hybridizer Marcel Michiels from Belgium did name this Fuchsia 2011 like me, and i am really thankful to him! 3 years earlier he crossbred 2 of his own hybrids: Coen Bakker and Lut. The result is semi-hanging with large, dark green leafs. The sepals are white, the corollas are shimmering in different shades of crimson. The plant is growing firm, but does not branch out much of its own. Therefore it should be early cut back, to achieve a bushy...
read moreis a fast growing Fuchsia for those who appreciate Triphylla-Hybrids, and it is a sunlight devotee, therefore growing and blossoming best in direct sunlight, and given that unfailingly from early summer until first frost. This is typical of triphylla´s at general, but very distinctive with this hybrid. There are no information about lineage or hybridizer, this Fuchsia was discovered in 1962 within the garden of the Fuchsia-enthusiast Rawlins at Surrey, England. There are assumptions that in the lineage may be involved the...
read more…a double Fuchsia-blossoms can hardly be any larger! Ted Garett from USA hybridized this beauty by crossing the well known Fuchsias “Quasar” and “Applause”. He introduced this impressive result in 1987 and with this hybrid in the opinion of many enthusiasts maybe his best result of crossbreeding. Up to now this Fuchsia causes genuine amazement by those who face it the first time, for example an older plant displayed in a hanging basket: numerous palm-sized double blossoms of lucent crimson-purple color almost...
read morevisiting a paradise in Belgium, unfortunately only open to public for 3 weeks a year, and this since more than 100 years. For entrance only 2,50€ will be charged, and that only for those above 18 years. Ever in spring, as early as the Azaleas, Camellias, Pelargonias and Fuchsias come into full bloom, the Royal Greenhouses and Gardens open up to the public. There are as well many other- partly exotic- plants such as Hortensia’s, Strelitzias, Medinillas, Orchids, Ferns and ancient, giant Palms. King Leopold II. gave the...
read moreand i have already given the explanation why in part 1. And, since i and many others are very delighted that- after such a long a break from November until now- the Fuchsias are blossoming again if successfully overwintered, i do want to show more photos of them. The post-picture shows “Lady Boothby”, the last years always among the latest to sprout out, but this year already flourishing. Quite contrary, my plants “Dancing Flame” and “Brian C. Morrison”, showing blossoms early within the greenhouse the...
read moreis awarded this honor in representational form from me, because my very good friend Anahita is celebrating her birthday this week! Congratulations as well to the German Fuchsia-hybridizer Karl Strümper for the creation of this hybrid. He introduced this Fuchsia 1990 with this name, the parent-hybrids also crossbred by him: “Philippe” and “Gruss an Graz”. The result is a semi-hanging Fuchsia. If kept in half-shade, it will grow long internodias which absolutely should be cut back to achieve a more...
