Foreword

In many books about the fuchsia gardenhobby there is only little variety in the informative articles. Many of that information is copied from existing fuchsiabooks. New info material you often find in the magazines of the fuchsia societies. Mostly this info is than based on the experience from members with 'green fingers'.

Some years surfing  along websites with the subject 'fuchsia gardenhobby' gives in the meantime me a good view how transfer of knowledge via this young information source take place. Special the own websites of fuchsialovers consist little informative articles and many of that articles give preponderant well-known culturetips. Many websites are filled with a collection photos, a 'sign my guestbook', the 'top ten fuchsias out of own collection', and a couple of links to always the same fuchsia websites. Mostly the photogallery is the most interesting part of that website, specialy for who want to collect a photogallery on the own harddisk or own fuchsiaphoto-CD.

Surfing along gardensites, specially that about the fuchsia gardenhobby, got it into my head to   make new articles. This resulted in a range of articles with as a 'special purpose to carry over new knowledge'. Some extern authors, who 'new methods of care thinked of and tried out', delivered articles for publishing in this GFI Fuchsia-info Magazine.
