hanging on

One of the last fuchsias of summer, this taken in September but there are still flowers on the bush!

Such a vibrant colour combo. I wonder sometimes how nature comes up with its designs.

Such a lovely colour

[Carole Sandford]

The second one I’ve seen today. It’s got quite a bit colder over the last few days, the poor things could be in for a shock

It’s so mild that there are quite a few flowers out even up here in the North West of England! Colder though today!

Lovely colour and capture Hazel ours are still out:)

They are such pretty flowers. Ours are flowering like mad at the moment. Hope they survive this year. We lost one fuchsia plant a few years ago during 40-degree heat. With so much rain the last couple of years and not such high temperatures they are loving the climate at the moment.

[Phil Howcroft]

that's lovely that they still have such beautiful colours

Superb focus on this close up. Wonderful image.

[Issi Bannerman]

What a beauty.

Thanks everyone for visits and comments. Ray planted a pink clematis in memory of Clare next to this fuchsia bush, which sadly got damaged and became totally brown withered stalks. One day I looked out from the upstairs window and saw it had regenerated and it is still blooming!
