I was beside myself when we were in Ireland and they had tall hedges of semi-wild fuchsias growing along the fence lines and road sides everywhere....
I LOVE them and have tried growing them many times but always seem to lose them eventually.
Probably just a bit too hot here?

Yes. That's why I can't put up a photo of the plants. I don't have one, but they were all a fluoro pink, the fuschias.
I still think of them as mine because I planted them.
just moved. not too far away, still walk past now and then.

My fuschia didn't really have any open flowers like the gorgeous ones in stawkas link, but I liked the way the light was falling on it and how it illuminated the green stalk, making it somewhat transparant.
Sin, the doiley is vintage....it belonged to my great grandmother and has some bead work in it as well. It sit's on my dresser with a vanity tray on top so I left it there to take my photo. I really should have set it on a white background though, because in the photo it looks closer to white than the pink it really is.
Sin...are your aprons vintage as well? I really love the first one.
