Fuchsia - widow's tears

"Do not grow fuchsia - you will be a widow." I heard this phrase many times when I was very young, and on my grandmother's window there was a huge fuchsia with red flowers, like earrings.

The second or popular name for fuchsia is Widow's tears.

But in the name of fuchsia is not alone, widow tears are called hoyu, because during the flowering, from the flowers of hoyi drip fragrant droplets.

People tend to give names to plants, despite the fact that they already initially have their botanical.

Many people are led exactly to the fact that someone, once told them about the flower or that it can not be grown for one reason or another. Yes, and feng shui now supports this, in my opinion delusional topic.

My life goes on next to flowers from early childhood and if I believed in all these tears, grave creepers and other delirium, there would not be a single flower in my house, and now I would not write articles about them.

Well, what can a beautiful plant like fuchsia do?

You just take a good look at the beauty that nature has created. And what did the breeders do? These masterpieces are worth a lot of money and create a collection of fuchsia only under the power of rich people or a cohesive team that will buy into the folds of the cuttings.

Flowers fuchsia resemble a split bell. In the wind, the pestle with the stamens moves and ... if you imagine a little, you can hear the flower music.

Come on, I've been dreaming.

So, fuchsia.

To grow it, you need to try. Usually, a room variety I want to take out to the street closer to the light, but garden fuchsia on the contrary, in the autumn to bring in the house.

Two variants are fraught with consequences, as a result two kinds perish.

I adore the garden function of the ampel.

I do not grow it myself, but every spring I buy rooted cuttings and for the summer season it turns into a beautiful, long-flowering plant.

I do not think about any widows and tears, but I just admire the beauty all summer and look forward to spring to update my plantings in suspended flowerpots.

If you are interested in this species, do not be afraid, buy and grow widows of tears.
