Bought a Fuchsia "Campo Glaziou" at Strybing
We visited the Strybing plant sale yesterday and had a blast. I was very impressed with the "Plants for Rock Gardens" section, which included many miniature conifers, as well as the infinite variety of succulents.
To be honest, though, I was a bit disappointed with the trees. I briefly considered an Oregon Ash, before realizing I had nowhere to put it. There were a few sequoia sempervirens, deodar cedars, many false cypress, and many plants labeled simply "juniperus sp." Not very helpful.
I ended up with a fuschia marked "Fuchsia Campo Glaziou." Beautiful, small pink flowers, fairly upright habit. I'll post a picture soon. I think it will go well with my other fuschias. I've tried to find information about this variety, without success. Does anybody have any information, or pointers?
