Thalia Triphylla

This is the the nearest I get to a species fuchsia. I am drawn to it because the blooms are different from everything else I have, and the foliage is just like satin in dark green with red veins. The flowers are carried at the end of the tall branches in bunches. A most interesting plant and one of my favourites. Going to try a new triphylla this year, will keep you posted.
