A fuchsia plant about to burst into flower. I always find their buds interesting. The name comes not from the color fuchsia but from the name of the hybridizer, German scientist Leonard Fuchs. The color was named after the flower.

Kathy - This looks quite a bit like the one hang in on my front porch. I learned about the origin of the name, as I assumed it was related to the color. Thanks! Thad

I always have the temptation to pop those buds :)
Nice presentation Kathy :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Our integrity sells for so little, but it's all we really have. It's the very last inch of us and within that inch, we are free. -V

Thanks for the botany lesson. Will there be a quiz? Beautiful colours in the photo.
