is a hybrid from the Netherlands, introduced in 1989. The hybridizer of this Fuchsia- beside 200 other hybrids- is Hank Waldenmaier, who utilized “Susanna” as mother-plant. The source of the pollen is unfortunately unknown. His profession is genetic scientist, but he is professionally more engaged with animals. Fuchsias are his hobby, but of course he can also relay on his professional skills. “Blauwkous” is blue socks in Dutch, and this hybrid is actually quite blue, the early blossom even with a...
read morea Fuchsia that is- even during a hot summer and in a sunlit location- a real sensation- of course if given enough water within the moderate temperatures in the morning or evening. It will need more water than many other hybrids, and that provides it with more fertilizer in my special setting. The splendous result of that is obvious to me all day! This hybrid- same as the Fuchsia of the week 26/2014- is a product of the hybridizer Mario de Cooker from the Netherlands, crossbreeding “Delicate Blue” and “Wilson’s...
read morewas hybridized by Josef Gindl from Austria, the same as the Fuchsia of the Week 20/2014. “Mama Lydia” is the result of crossbreeding the both Fuchsias “Land van Beveren” and “Zellertal”. It was introduced 2006 and named after the Fuchsia-gardener Lydia Guttmann. Given this lineage one does not wonder it to grow hanging and that it is tolerant to more direct sunlight than many other hybrids. To my opinion- quite subjectively- the double blossom is colored more beautiful than the parent-hybrids,...
read moreis 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 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 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...
