Fuchsia Flower

I love this beautiful, exotic fuchsia flower with striking two-tone colors. Fuchsia flowers shape is quite unusual and they are really delicate. I usually see them anywhere in the garden but it’s best if they were hang in a baskets on the patio. Fuchsias are also popular garden shrubs, and once planted can live for years with a minimal amount of care.

Fuchsia is often misspelled as fuschia in English. That’s why there’s a mini fun story about it that if someone will ask you to spell Fuchsia, you will immediately say “I’d rather spell Red because it’s too short” But the truth is you are a bit confused with the correct spelling of Fuchsia.

I had personally seen quite a few of the famous structural bridges at London. I have read that there are 31 bridges that you will see when you tour along Thames River. Actually, the first time I went to Thames River cruise, I really can’t believe my eyes. How those architects could build such fantastic bridges? I mean, they put all their efforts and creativity and it’s really something to behold.

This is the Albert Bridge. This is one of the prettiest bridges in London which spanning the Thames from Chelsea to Battersea.

It is quite a beautiful plant with pale pink or purple hue flowers and can be grown in home gardens. The Mallow flower is also referred to as the “Cheese flower” as their flat assortment of five petals on the flower head resembles a cheese disc. Plants bloom most of the summer. The Mallow flower, in past times, has been used for medicinal purposes — due to high levels of anti-oxidants, it is sometimes used in teas or as a way to combat dry coughs. Beautiful mallow plants are prolific and produce delicate flowers covering stems that grow to approximately 3 feet.
