Passion or obsession.

It's that time of year again when they all start coming out!

Fuchsias.

These are my husband's passion. He calls them his 'babies' and spends hours with them in his greenhouse getting them ready to put out - amongst other things. (You can see where the obsession comes in)
He is staking them to make sure they are supported and I asked him why he grew them so tall, his response was ..'because I can.'

At least these have flowers on them, most of them are just 'twigs' at this time of year and I find it hard to share his enthusiasm, but in fairness I know that later in the summer we will have a glorious array of Fuchsias due to his hard work and dedication.
