JulianGalvez, I thought I did put the scientific name. I don't know what 'the Latin binomen' means unless that means scientific name. But I took the other name off. I'm a plant novice, obviously.
Err... the picture's nice, but we ought to put the proper scientific name, i.e. the Latin binomen, to avoid misinformation. It's Fuschia sp., alright. Thanks!
These are pretty!!
