First Fuchsia

This little fuchsia is flowering as a cutting (taken a couple of months ago) in a 3 inch pot. Really impressive. Love the colour (why can't they put the right colour on the labels?).

Of course, I shouldn't have let it flower. It's best to remove buds to get bigger plants (plant then uses all resources for making leaves and stems, not flowers). But I couldn't wait to see what they looked like. Others will be out soon.
