Some Grog For My Fuchsia
I found this on Sprout, American Nurseryman’s newsletter.
Taken by Kristin Candler, this photo shows The Prospect Of Whitby, London’s oldest riverside Inn. It is, reportedly, where the Fuchsia was introduced to London when it was traded for a noggin of rum.

Oh, I love this! Funny, history is, isn’t it? Fuschia is loved by hummingbirds and hard to find here without paying an arm and a leg.

A noggin of rum is definitely a better deal than an arm or a leg.
