Fuchsia WALZ Bombardon – Fuchsia of the Week 10/2014

Today is carnival, a crazy day,

and best suited to that is a merry Fuchsia like WALZ Bombardon!

 

The dutch breeder introduced this cultivar 2001 and stated, that the mother-plant is WALZ Harp, a hybrid from 1988, but the father is unknown… and that is, as well, sometimes to be seen  at carnival in other cases. The Fuchsia does not only like bright, but more than that sunlight places best and is quite tolerant to rain and windy conditions, blossoming abundantly. The long tubes of the blossoms are quite attractive, and the corollas are very special, looking like petticoats. This together looks rather playfully, inducing the spectator to smile: though the WALZ Bombardon is a joyful plant, good suited to carnival!
