This week’s lost fuchsia is ‘Emily Doel‘, which was introduced in 1882 and we are hoping that our fuchsia detectives will help us to find more information about this historic cultivar. Does anyone know who Emily Doel was?
This cultivar sometimes appears as ‘Emily Doels’, we suspect that this is the same cultivar and a typographical error, but we need evidence to prove this. Are you able to help solve this?
This week’s lost fuchsia is ‘Royal Standard’, which was introduced in 1877 and we are hoping that our fuchsia detectives will help us to find more information about this historic cultivar.
This weeks lost fuchsia is ‘Miss Welch’, which was introduced around 1885.
We know very little about this cultivar, to our knowledge there appears to be only one description of this cultivar and no known images.
The group of Fuchsias an engraving of which appears at fig. 39 (used as this posts image), represents a collection of nine specimens raised and exhibited by that well-known cultivator, Mr. James Lye, of Clyffe Hall Gardens, Market Lavington, at an exhibition held in Bath in September last, and which received the 1st prize in the premier class for that number of plants.
