Triphylla hybrids fuchsia (Fuchsia triphylla)

            Fuchsia, a flowering plant, was first identified and named by Charles Plumier, in the late-17th century, after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.  There are over 100 species of this mostly tropical or subtropical plant.  Most species are shrubs but one, the New Zealand "Kotukutuku" is a tree.  The flowers of the fuchsia have a pendulous 'eardrop' shape and grow in profusion throughout the summer and autumn.  Colors can vary from white to dark red, purple-blue, and orange.  A few have yellowish tones and some recent hybrids have added white in various combinations.

Triphylla means three-leaved, which sets it apart from the other species which have two leaves at each node. Blossoms form in racemes at the ends of each branch and keep blooming in clusters down the stem, forming no more large leaves on the stem to get in the way of the flowers’ beauty. The blossoms are long and thin, mostly tube, with just a small stand-out sepal skirt and a small corolla underneath.  True triphyllas must have the terminal clusters of flowers and their leaves are softer, almost velvety. Often they are darker green, with purple or red coloration on the undersides and veins.
