Fuchsia Remembering Claire
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 complicated -to me- mother-hybrid, including- beside others- “Checkerboard” and “Machu Picchu” in its lineage. Given that heritage it is understandable and logic that “Remembering Claire” does tolerate direct sunlight very good. And it is tolerant to high temperature as well, for about 30°C during the last weeks did not bother it at all. In conclusion it is a very recommendable hybrid: easy overwintering, rapid growth and resistant to illness or vermin’s.
Does that leave anything to be desired? Obviously Mario de Crooker is not only diligent, but as well creative and therefore successful: my compliments!
