fuchsia


this elegant fuchsia was flowering in Kelly Bray woods, it is not f. magellanica found in the wild (but not native?) and must be an escapee. It has been suggested recently that about one-quarter of plants sold to ornamental gardeners since the 1800s have escaped, and 30 per cent of these are firmly established in the English countryside.
