The other day a fellow was walking by and referred to my garden as, "The Fuchsia Palace". Even though he was half-tanked, I rather like the name.

I'm starting this thread so we can all post our Fuchsia baskets, standards, bedding, topiary, indoor, greenhouse, seedlings, cuttings, etc. Whatever you'd like. Blooms, full plants, combos, leaves, etc. for fun.

Here is my Fuchsia Joan Cooper just starting to bloom which isn't in the PlantFiles yet but is reported to be hardy in my zone 8b. I planted it behind a large rock which I was not aware was also used by passer-bys as a seat. Unfortunately the plant has been sat on a few times.

ps. Adding that photos can include botanical gardens, show gardens, nurseries, displays, your neighbour's second-removed cousin's veranda, etc. Basically anything you notice relating to Fuchsia plants and blooms that catch your fancy.
