We struggle with Fuschias here in Adelaide, with the intense drought and the high temperatures. Lovely plants. Jacarandas are the plant life of choice en ce moment.
ReplyDeletebeautiful flower! i wish there were more flowers here in my place!
ReplyDeleteVery creative photo! That poor flower looks so tired though! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
That's beautiful. The frosts are beginning to get to ours now....
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how much of this was planted along the roads in Ireland. Thanks for jogging the memories.
ReplyDeleteI really like the geometric pattern of this one.

ReplyDeleteOk so I need to come and drive the roads of Ireland and see this for myself! Happy WT!

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I must admit that they are coming to the end of their season.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome photo! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJust a beauty, jams! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
It looks like a Christmas tree ornament...great shot!
ReplyDeleteI do like fuchsias, but I like them even better when they're fatter too! Great colour.
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat to go to Ireland and see this!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletebeautiful shot
ReplyDeletehappy ww
Awesome flower! It reminds me of a hummingbird flying up or that might be just me having a acid flashback lol! Good WW!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous shot, Jams! And, lovely subject! I love Fuchsias..they are so beautiful and diverse!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
At first I thought it was a bright squid (I'm talking first glance upon loading). So I'm thinking that this flower has a life of it's own to trick me that way. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a lovely plant! How cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing those fuchsias growing in the hedgerows of Kerry and Cork. Lovely pic. I hope the fuchsia gall mite doesn't get too strong a grip here - it's a nasty little beggar. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing picture.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty! I've never seen one before. :) My WW is up!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great picture.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a painting. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot!
ReplyDeleteLove those deep fuschia colors in amongst the red. I agree with Nap Warden - it does look like a Christmas ornament.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, fantastic shot Jams. Although I did like that Soccer dog intro as well. :)
ReplyDeletethat's real purdy.
ReplyDeleteWow, thats beautiful. It looks like its glowing. I love the colors. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteI love fushias too. I noticed some blooming in a yard yesterday that looked just like this one. Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely flower. Haven't seen one of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a vivid color! I didn't know that there's a flower named fuschia until today. Thanks for educating me. Happy WW!
ReplyDeletegorgeous shot! interesting flower ... :)
ReplyDeletehappy WW
My WW post
Gorgeous colors!!!! It reminds of some vintage jewelry I have.
ReplyDeleteSo I wonder -- is fuchsia the color named after fuchsia the flower, or is it the other way around?? Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteTHanks for your kind comments. If I havent had the chance to leave a comment on your WW entry I will do so later. Alas work calls!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Simply GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty flower and love the bright color!
ReplyDeleteawww what a beauty!
ReplyDeletehappy ww!
Looks as if that flower is electroluminescent- spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThe flower is absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgweous one. I saw some of these the other day whilst dog walking. Not much longer, though...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Rich red!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you can grow these. Beautiful photo of a gorgeous flower.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like some kind of alien creature. I love fuscia plants. I've killed many.
ReplyDeleteextremely delicate .. nice.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely shot. Do you change the background to black or do you set up the shot that way? You inspired me with your flower pic, so I posted one too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, but it's a pretty pink :P Happy WW
ReplyDeletegorgeous close-up! fuschias are so delicate....
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful vibrant colors. Anothe lovely choice.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen anything like that before - very cool photo! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteTHanks all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteVixen I get the dark bckground by stopping down the lens and ensuring that there is as little as possible behind the subject. With the stopped down lens the background is usually rather underexposed. A little tweak to teh lighting levels can usually darken out any bit of background
