Passiflora Caerulea

Have been waiting patiently for weeks for her to delight me with her beautiful flower.
Opened just before mid-day still 10 buds to open.
Shall post another photo as and when she bursts into bloom.
Would be nice to capture just as it was to open.
That may be difficult.

Less than half the size of Kew Gardens but certainly worth visiting for the vast collection of orchids.
I had the pleasure in 2000 a lot of memories of the beautiful gardens.

I was lucky to manage to fit in a visit to Kew Gardens,when on a theatre trip to London.
I recommend it a garden of all seasons.

Whitenights Pearl
Standard fuchsia,I was lucky to win this in our raffle at our local fuchsia society.
I did re-pot her in to my own container and put buzy lizzies around the base.
Which turned out to be good combination of colour.

Grew her on from tip cuttings two summers ago.
I gave the tub to our local hospital garden .
I retrieved her yesterday as she was needing a drink had toppled over in the wind.
As you can see there are a lot of lush cuttings,ready for me to make new plants for 2007

Over wintering of fuchsias
| View Blog
Fuchsias started late to bloom this year due to weather,but soon be time to think again of the long rest of overwintering them.
Would be interested how every one else rests their fuchsias for the winter.
My greenhouse is unheated.
