Fuchsia Magellanica (thanks Tony Bloke)

[Georgie]

Tony Bloke was kind enough to send me some cuttings earlier this year.  I tried some in compost and some in water but only the ones in water rooted.  I now have three nice little plants in five inch pots and the first flowers came out today.  (They have been throwing out buds pretty much since I got them but I've been pinching them out in favour of roots.)  So here's the proof I didn't kill them.   ;D

BTW, I'm still very keen to get my hands on a F.Magellania var. molinae so if anone out there has one, I'd love a cutting please.  I have lots I could send in return.  :)

That's very kind of you, Shirl, but I already have a couple of those.  Lottie Hobby isn't it?

I have a fuchsia in a hanging basket. It has lovely double flowers. Can I take cuttings of this for next years hanging basket or is this the wrong type? If I can, how would I go about it? ???
