The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Fuchsias
Fuchsia magellanica still in full bloom and will be until the frosts come.
Fucshia. Oh, you and your fancy name colors, jams. A more manly man would have called them just plain pink. I'm waiting for you to start saying magenta and chartreuse in descriptions next, and reviewing some Pet Shop Boys music. :)
This is a very lovely flower, and reminds me of the many varieties of "Trumpet" vines and blooms we have here in Texas. I have a yellow trumpet vine, an orange one, and a PINK trumpet blossom bush. Notice how I refrained from saying fucshia?
Oooh, I nearly forgot, this morning I heard yet another SPARKS song that I greatly enjoyed. So, now that makes TWO, yep, count them, TWO SPARKS song that I absolutely adore. That disco like "Heaven" song, and now their track, "So Important." It was surprisingly good. In fact, I wasn't paying any attention to the XM digital readout until this song started playing, and I thought, "This is good stuff. Who is this?"
Hmm I shall call then "sort of pinkish" instead! Let's say I am "not good with colours".... I love Fuchsias, partly because they remind me of holidays in SW Ireland. They grow wild there now forming wonderful hedgerows
Two Sparks songs now? I am impresed.. Give 20 years and You'll have a mixtape full!

Those are beautiful! I imagine they are gorgeous as hedgerows, that would be a sight!
