    Just a common Fushia that I really liked from last year. Most people around here throw them out at the end of the season but I try to save them.

    What a waste to throw out something that pretty when all it takes is a little effort and some warmth to keep them alive. Good job Barb :D

    I certainly wouldn't throw them out. They are so delicately coloured and a joy to see.

    I like that Fuchia too. I don't get throwing them away. They can go on for years.I found that one can taake cuttings from them very easily.

    I just love fushias but where we are living now ,they don't like the humidity and get sick.I particularly like the double ones.Love the delicate colour of yours.
