hovers into the new Fuchsia-Year by spreading its very long sepals like wings.

 

 

 

V.L. Crocket from Britain really introduced a true masterstroke with this hybrid from 1965! The one who happens to have a look at a hanging basket with this Fuchsia will be eager to own it for himself. The lineage is not known (at last to me), and there is as well no information about the quite interesting name, but that all gets insignificant by the spectacle it shows. Every single plant grows vigorously and shows large blossoms in abundance without stop until frost. And my “Fly by Night” already started this year to do so. Being insensitive against sun and rain, this hybrid is good suited for almost any Fuchsia-Enthusiast.

 

 

 

 

The buds may seem rather clumsy, but in the contrary the blossom of this Fuchsia- from a country with a clime best suited for this plants-  is elegant and full of verve.
