These pretty pendant flowers are called Fushia but have also been known to be called Ladies eardrops. They remind me of my childhood, of when I would squeeze the pod open between my fingers before nature could, and loving the little ‘pop’ sound they made (I don’t do it anymore though!). We still have some in our garden today and I love the bright colour and memories they bring throughout the year.
I’d love to hear what flowers make you smile or have a special place in your memory

Dandelions?
I used to also like dandelions as a child but I kept being told they were just weeds
oh, they are certainly weeds 🙂
how lovely! I used to pop them too – just so I could see what colours were wrapped inside. Now it’s Salvias which captivate me
Thanks Laura, I just looked up Salvias – they look really pretty
The pop of a fuchsia… I remember doing that! FUN! FUN! Pretty photo!
Thanks Nancy 🙂
