Fuchsia basket by happypat

Fuchsia basket

A hanging basket that’s not hanging!
I wanted some colour to go on our decking but had left it very late to buy anything suitable.
At the nurseries we got tempted by this massive fucshia even though it’s a hanging basket it looks fine sitting on a big pot. They were selling them off for £16
I was going to cut off the plastic hanging bits but then thought in the night if it gets windy it will really suffer. I left them on & this last two days it’s moved to the shade.
It’s hard to water high up things now so easier on the ground.

Been out for lunch with cinema friend Dot but we haven’t been to the cinema for ages.
Looks so healthy! Did it rain up there? Roasting again here. I feel like Baby Bear in Goldilocks.....it is either too hot or too wet and I want it just right! 😅😅

Such a beauty Pat - I agree, so much easier to have it sitting on the deck, to water, to move out of the heat of the day and safe from any sudden breeze ! Hope you enjoyed your cinema jaunt!

@casablanca No it’s been a very hot day today. This is a photo taken a few days ago but it’s probably taken after watering.

@beryl No cinema today Beryl just a prawn sandwich & a cake & a good catch up. I move the plant out if the heat, it does not like too much sun!

It looks lovely. You will enjoy it down low. I sure agree about hanging baskets being so hard to water.

I think it looks lovely on the deck and easier to water too.

Beautiful addition to your deck alongside the pretty purple plant!

Beautiful basket, but looks heavy like it would take quite a sturdy hook to hang from. I agree so much easier to water from ground level.

Fuchsia is a plant that stands up to shade and coolness. Hang it up under that lovely tree in the middle around that nice seat! I think you should get a geranium for that lovely deck for colour!

@maggiemae Yes I think geraniums would have been a better buy! I will check the tree, might be a good idea thank you!

It's lovely! Sometimes these things have removable 'hangers' that just click onto the pot - then you could have it both ways. But maybe it's not easy to check through all the foliage and flowers! Again, I notice that lovely single chair under the tree. :-)

What a lovely effect it makes on your deckings. Your property looks so lovely and green and very well taken care of.
