Celandine's Inbox

Hi

Looking at the dark foliage on this plant, I would say that you have 'Solfatare'.

Mark

Aw..how lovely.

Very pretty.

Celandine,
Don't grow any Fuchsia megallanica in the shade, certainly not UK shade. The location of your plant is in part encouraging this and other likely problems.

Is it hardy???

Lovely colour.

Such lovely flowers.

Looks like wax

Well done, Celandine,
it looks very happy in your care.

Great close up!

I had a problem with one of my hardy fushcis earlier this year.My solutions was to prune all of the distorted leaves and branches out.
And it has recovered well.
I toookthe damaged bits to show a nurseryman,and he said it was pesticide damage.
It then clicked,we have farmland at the back of our house,and my hubby had gone over the fence to get some Flanders poppies that were gowing among the crops and when he got them he put against,guess what, my fushcia!!! So try a hard prune.

Hmmm...right, well don't compost it...just incase it is a virus! sad to give up after waging the battle but if you have other fuchsias it the best strategy...better to be safe than contagious...lol.

Could it be Gall Mites? I just gave a quick google of "distorted fuchsia" and that's what popped up...there was also mention of insecticidal soap...

Aw, pity, but glad to hear all is not lost.

Wow! Fantastic colour. I love orange.

Looking good Celandine.

Lovely colour combination, good picture. Andy and Jill

Looking good, Celandine, n spite of the woolly aphid.
I have bought meths to remove the woolly aphid from my tree but there hasn't been any let up in the rain since I got it.

very tasty Celandine :)

Great colour, I have a year old one about 3ft high Celandine, can't wait for it to grow.

Those little lanterns look like they're lit up Celandine, really pretty.

Oooh. Think I might have to get one for myself. Sounds lovely.

Love ferns

Is it a Cornus? I have Cornus mas and it looks very similiar. Nicely photographed.

Has it revived ? I do hope so.

They are so pretty...nice to have kind friends.

I would like to find some of these...another one for the list...

Great pic... was wondering...does the pollen cause allergic reactions? I know it stains permanently...that's why the anthers are removed when you buy them as cut flowers... One of the best things about high summer is the lilies in blossom, don't you think?
