f is for fuchsia




ABC Wednesday

A flower I encountered during my walk by the beach and the Pacific Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere, where summertime is now coming to an end. I was 4 weeks away from the blogosphere, I only had time for "A" before leaving! More about fuchsias here. It also applies to the color fuchsia, which I much prefer over pink!.

  3. Fuchsias are beautiful. I used to drive my mom crazy by popping the flower buds, I just loved that little noise they made.

  4. Love fuchsias. I think they look like little ballerinas. Like Jedediah I used to pop the buds too to hear them make a noise.

  9. Beautiful - still winter here, of course, so this colorful capture makes me very happy. I used to keep a couple of hanging fuchsias during the summer but have failed to do so the last few years - you've encouraged me to start again.

  10. We always plant fuschias in pots and hang them along our patio - all different varieties! They're so fabulous!

  12. Whatever that flower is called, it is very pretty. It at least made your walk more pleasant.

  13. In my Misfit blog, I refer to my daughter as Fuchsia. Mostly because her hair has been that color many times now.

  16. I don't think it would be ideal for me to play. I can only come up with one word, and it's four letters long.. Haha.. I really cannot even imagine flowers today after what surprise we got today outside... Beautiful!
