The summer heat, and end of season fatigue, seems to cause many aberrations in fuchsia blooms. Here 'Dollar Princess' has developed a stray petaloid on the end of a stamen. This is one of the most common "oddities" to arise - others include fasciation (that is when blooms are fused together and look like Siamese twins), faded or very pale colours, too few or too many flower parts, and of course, very small blooms. I find it fascinating and love searching for the odd flowers secure in the knowledge that after pruning and their winter rest they will all come back to normal!
