As I walked along a Sydney street a rainy day, I saw the subject of this week’s picture. It is a native of Central and South America and also lives in the Andes where temperatures are cool, and the air is moist. Fuchsias were named after a 16th century German botanist - Leonard Fuchs. I hope you like it.

I’m not the gardening type mate but the colours and shapes of the flower world are marvellous. Nice picture. Now why don’t I see these things? Too busy refereeing my grandkids I suppose…

Thank you Ozi,

And you are "refereeing" them very well. I can't think of a better legacy for them and their families.

My little grandkids are the main reason why I take photos (of them) and also the main reason I hardly take a photo of anything else these days. Why is it that the older you get, the more gear you accumulate and the less time you have to use it all !?!?!?
