Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry, Merry and Happy, Happy to all my Fuchsia Friends!

You have all made this forum my number one stop at Dave's Garden.

Pictured below (in bloom!) is my Fuchsia Karen Isles, an Encliandra Fuchsia destined for the Bonsai pot in January. The plant will keep me company when I'm online as it will be sitting in front of an east-facing window about 24 inches from my computer. It will pain me to prune the plant, but I have an idea in my head how I want my Bonsai Fuchsia to look. Hopefully, I'll remember to take pictures to share.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
I will be looking forward to photos of your bonsai in the bonsai thread! I just wired my Amber Rose yesterday. I am twining two together for an interesting trunk effect.
Your Karen Isles looks like an excellent choice.
Here is my version of red Christmas ornaments ;-)

Happy Holidays to both of you. You have done very well with your fuchsia forum. Thanks

Gosh, I have got to say, Happy Holidays!
It's been a busy one so far, or I'd have checked in sooner. Hope you all had a Merry Old Christmas, and and even Happier New Year.
May all our fuchsia's prosper!
One of my favorite photos of my fuchsia's. Just for the Holidays. I believe it's the Cardinal, which is so appropriate for the season. LOL!

Wow, great photo of Cardinal SW! One of these days, I'd love to get a nicer camera. This one is about as basic as you can get, but it works!

Took one special for you, PC, of the foilage on Mrs. J. D. Fredericks. This is a rosette of new leaves. I think it's pretty.
Happy New Year All!
Enjoy!

THAt Mrs. JDF doesn't even need to bloom to be beautiful.

I confess, Mrs. J. D. Fredricks was one of the very first varieties I made certain I found when I started my collection. The bush is about 10 years old now and still one of my favorites. She is one of the old fashioned hybrids from Evan and Reeves in 1936. And she is also one of the ones I hope to be using in a new thread this coming spring featuring floral arrangements using fuchsias. Because she can put out long new shoots of growth perfect for cutting. And fuchsia branches last a long time in vases of water.
