Fuchsia "Gingham Girl"

Fuchsia

One of our "Oz" theme plants, as reference to Dorothy's famous gingham pinafore dress. I knew that this would not be a real blue/white colour, but, hey, the name fits, lol!

Yes, Lori, it is, but I, personally , prefer "subdued" in flowers.

I've always thought of fuchsias as the "extroverts" of flowers...flashy, glib and glorious... that's why little gingham girl is so appealing she's proof of the sublime in all fuchsias...lol.
