FUCHSIA, GARINISH ISLAND,
IRISH REPUBLIC

Red fuchsia is quite common in Ireland, but it’s not a native plant. Fuchsia was introduced from South America and has become naturalized and widespread, especially in the west and in coastal areas, where it thrives in the cool, moist climate. It is now a common sight in hedgerows and gardens.
I recall photographing Irish fuchsia during a 1993 trip and was determined to find more on our 2025 visit. As you can see, I was quite successful. 🙂
