Seedling - Code name 'Russia'
This is a very large
single cultivar almost a self baby pink.
It has a very lax pedicel supporting a short tube with a very long bud.
As the bud breaks the sepals fly back almost immediately to expose a long
slender corolla . the petals wrap around to form a perfect cylinder
which maintains its shape through to maturity. The
flower is further complimented by a very long style and cream stigma.
The anthers are dark red. This is a truly lovely
fuchsia which is suitable only for basket work. The branches
are very wiry and slender with long slender dark green leaves.
I am working with this one in an attempt to strengthen the framework and
increase the size of leaf. Included here purely for
interest.
