Fuchsia ‘Rose of Castile’;
for ID : (mixed thread): 4 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1) This was taken in Tumling near Nepal on 14/10/07.
This is a Fuchsia hybrid – a garden plant – probably ‘Rose of Castille’.
It is Fuchsia Riccartonii.
I have seen them in Gurdum ( at Himalaya Lodge) in April,2006.
Attaching the pictures.
If you look at … picture, you will see that the corollas of his fuchsias are white/pale pink, and the undersides of the sepals are pale/flesh pink. Your pics are of a darker variety of ‘Riccartonii’. I think … pic shows ‘Rose of Castille’. There are many hybrid varieties of fuchsia, mainly of F. coccinea, F. fulgens & F. magellanica. Though not indigenous to India, fuchsias are fairly easy to cultivate in the cooler areas, i.e., the Himalayan region. Have tried, unsuccessfully, to grow them in Delhi/Haryana. They don’t survive our harsh summers.
Please help to id this Fuchsia sp. planted as ornamental in gardens at Kotagiri and Ooty.

For other spellings see below (from Wikipedia)
Pronunciation and Spelling While the original pronunciation from the word’s German origin is “fook-sya” /ˈfʊksja/, most English speakers tend to say “fyusha” /ˈfjuːʃə/. As a consequence, fuchsia is often misspelled as fuschia in English. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia The Plant List Ver. 1.1 gives Fuchsia × hybrida Voss as unresolved. It does not appear in Catalogue of Life on search although on net it appears close as per Uses for Fuchsia Hybrida Fuchsia Plant Care Florensis Wikimedia CommonsI find it also close to images of Fuchsia ‘Rose of Castile’ at
