Three Fuschia

Skyping all morning - gardening all afternoon. Knackered! No idea of what to blip and then remembered a Fuschia bush I'd noticed yesterday at the Wildlife Centre because the flowers were larger than I'd ever seen before. So jumped in the car and made it about five minutes before they shut the gates! Fortunately there was (for a change) no wind or breeze and so even handheld most shots were OK. I chose this one because three is better than one:-)

The first Fuchsia was discovered on a Caribbean island about 1696–1697 by a French monk and botanist. He named the new genus after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).
