Willowwind2 sent me some beautiful cuttings and one rooted plant. They arrived today in wonderful condition. I believe the rooted one (which I potted up before the photo) is Fuchsia magellanica.
Of the cuttings, she mentioned the one with foliage like the magellanica, has larger flowers, so I am thinking perhaps it is F. magellanica var 'Riccartonii.' We will find out!
The one with tiny leaves, I believe is F. minutiflora. I have a F. microphylla and it's flowers aren't quite as tiny and don't have the so very bright "cerise" sepals this one does. Making cuttings for minutiflor and microphylla is a bit of a challenge!
I will post photos of everyones progress.
I'd also like to mention Willowwind2's use of a beverage cup with it's lid as a means of transporting the bareroot plant. It worked great! And the base of the cuttings were wrapped in wet papertowels. Sopping wet and in plastic bags with the foliage inside of the bags as well. It worked great!
