Madam ;I knew it is Fuchsia even if the nursery man didn’t know .His product name was ’Chinese lantern’ for this. Years back I have noticed this plant at Ooty for its pause and beauty; I purchased a rooted cutting at a very fancy price. It didn’t withstand the Cochin climate .Later came to understand it as Fuchsia.
The other things like it’s fruits are edible what lead to it’s naming, existence of 100s of varieties are all gathered from net. Do you have this in your garden? r.thilakan From: Ushadi Micromini [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2014 1:03 AM To: r.thilakan makkiseril Cc: efloraofindia Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:201881] fuchsia.for ID.011014.RT-5 so, you already know its identity, would you please share its hisotry, i would like to know, thanks usha di On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 12:33 AM, r.thilakan makkiseril <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you Ms.Usha.

Those of us that wanted to grow fuchsias always looked out for these... cant be sure though, since i have seen much more recent varieties registered in the 1990s with similar flowers .... but the flowers tend to be bigger and measurements are different. we need a fuchsia specialist , and even then it may not be easy based on pictures without measurements etc and fully pic of leaves ...etc usha di On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 9:56 AM, R Thilakan <[email protected]> wrote: Pls ID this Fuchsia.
