The new little plants arrived today - 30 of them!! I was very impressed with the postal service - they left Johannesburg late yesterday morning and were here by 10 o'clock today!

They do look a little rumpled as they were packed pretty tightly to stop them moving around in transit. Most of them look strong and healthy after being potted up and watered and misted. 3 or 4 of them look pretty marginal - will just have to wait and see if they make it!

Fuchsia of the day


Aretha

Aretha is one of the "Diva" series of Fuchsias. She is quite a small plant, with small leaves and flowers. She is quite easy to train and flowers very heavily. Quite a happy co-operative plant!
