-was introduced by the well renown german hybridizer Mrs. Dietrich in 1994. I wonder wether it is named after the karst spring at the bottom edge of the suebian jura (Schwaebische Alb), where the water is shining in a deep, lucent blue in the spring tub? This can be easily so. The lineage is not known, but surely this Fuchsia shows the most intensive blue among many hybrids. Only close to withering it will fade a bit and change to a burgundy purple. One will want to place this hybrid in half shade with only a bit of direct sunlight. It...
read more– is positively one of my favorite Fuchsias! To get hold of this hybrid is a bit complicated, since even the renown Fuchsia-Nurserys do not sell them regularly. And this is even though this hybrid is no newcomer, but was introduced in 1961 from the Microbiologist Charles Kennett from the USA, as the Fuchsia of the week 13/2014. Unfortunately he did not register the lineage of this Fuchsia with large and double blossoms. To me this hybrid is very singular, for i do certainly know no other to be compared with this special beauty....
read moreis, on the one hand, a delicate and graceful Fuchsia, but is on the other hand as well lush as robust, both in growth as at the blossoms! The Dutch gardener Z. Stoel crossed “Pink Galore” and “F. regis var. typica”, and got this result: a hanging hybrid, with a remarkable delicate appearance due to the single, colorful blossoms on long, filigree stems. The light- through middle- green leafs are quite slender. At the end of the overwintering this hybrid at first does look quite tiny due to this delicate growth; but,...
read moreist seit 1985 bekannt und mit ihren großen, gefüllten Blüten eine typische Fuchsie aus den USA. Annabel Stubbs kreuzte dafür die Fuchsien ‘Victorian’ und ‘Cyndy Robin’ in Kalifornien, und das Ergebnis ist wunderschön. Diese Fuchsie wächst zwar kräftig aufrecht, jedoch sind die Blüten so schwer, dass sie halbhängend erscheint und sich somit für eine Ampel-Bepflanzung eignet, es sei denn, man fixiert die Zweige gut. Auch das würde ich durchaus empfehlen, damit sie nicht abbrechen. So gesichert hat diese Schönheit bei mir...
read moreis- by it’s appearance- easily to be recognized as a Triphylla-Hybrid. The hybridizer Edwin Goulding from GB introduced the result of crossing “Thalia” and”F. vulgens var. gesneriana” in 1985. Why this name was given or who was to be honored is unfortunately not known to me. But i do know that it is quite a honor that such a hybrid is given ones name, because this is a glorious Fuchsia. As a typical Triphylla overwintering should be above 6°C. Within my greenhouse there is enough light and of course often an even...
read morepresents its glaring red single blossoms- looking like an umbrella- best situated within a half-shade location. The style of the blossom is obviously from its paternal side. The hybridizer Martin Beije from Netherlands took the pollen of the hybrid “Impudence” and dusted with this a hybrid from “Danny Kaye” and “Display”. THe result was introduced and given its name in 2000. The Fuchsia “Martin’s Umbrella” gave me a lot of pleasure, but as well now and than some grief. Like...
read morewas created by the successful and inventive hybridizer Marcel Michiels from Belgium, by crossbreeding the hybrids “Manfried Kleinau” and “Alfred Fuhrmann”, both from his stock as well. And he evaluated the result for four years prior of introducing it in 2011. This Fuchsia grows moderately within shade and is quite irritable to both to much and to less watering. Beside that vermin as the fungus gnat may be visiting a bit to often. It grows rather slowly delicate roots and is therefore not to easy to propagate, even...
read morewas discovered and named in 1946 by the Fuchsia- and Dahlia-Hybridizer Karl Nutzinger from Austria. There are no informations about the lineage of this hybrid, but it is well renown for its beauty and has been therefore frequently used for new crossbreeding attempts, as well by K. Nutzinger himself, who was gardener in the Monastery of Admont in Steiermark/ Austria at that time. This hybrid, one of the first introduced by him, is easy to overwinter, but starts to spread out initially sparse not before late spring. And that keeps me...
read morewas introduced in 1987 by the German hybridizer Wilfried Springer as a result of a crossing from the Triphylla “Leverkusen” and a hybrid of “Chang”. And since then this Fuchsia with its very special appearance has caused quite a sensation and was given several awards.The growth is slow and upright, and there are many pink colored Blossoms. These are small with thick tubes and there are green tips on the sepals, which are shorter than the tubes. There is not much to be seen of the corollas. With much regard:...
read morewas introduced by the Californian Ted Paskesen in 1976 on the occasion of the 200. Anniversary of the United States of America. And not only by that this Fuchsia is a very special one, though there are only a few hybrids with large, double blossoms of this color. And that was exactly what the hybridizer aimed at quite some time. Especially this color is not a simple orange, but a striking pattern of different range and red hues. And the white tubes are of a beautiful contrast. And there are some more positive features of this hybrid i want to...
