Fuchsia anyone?



What you should now about Fuchsias.

"Fuchsia (pronounced /ˈfjuːʃə/ FEW-shə) is a kind of flowering plants, it can grow long shoots," which make the plant difficult to photograph. I was literally on the floor on my stomach to get this shot. "These were identified by Charles Plumier in the late-17th century, and named by Plumier in 1703 after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).[1] The English name fuchsias is frequently misspelled "fuschias"."
