Well I ran­domly ended up in a fuch­sia nurs­ery near Warrington last week­end which I actu­ally found quite enlight­en­ing. Never one to miss a photo oppor­tu­nity I snapped a shot of ran­dom field nearby which I thought looked rather nice.

On a side note, I’m start­ing to add my pho­tographs to Panoramio. The fuch­sia nurs­ery was Walton Nurseries.

Wikipedia on Fuchsias:

Fuchsia (pro­nounced /ˈfjuːʃə/ FEW–shə) is a genus of flow­er­ing plants that con­sists mostly of shrubs or small trees. The first, Fuchsia tri­phylla, was dis­cov­ered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola(present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).
