Fuchsia blooms

Last spring when I planted my fuchsias, I mis-remembered how many I had bought for the four hanging pots. I thought I had 16, but I really had 12. I was on the third pot--planting four to a pot--when I realized my mistake. So the fourth pot has different-colored fuchsias from the other three.

These are blooms from the different pot:



These are the blooms of the pots that are alike:


The fuchsias took a long time to bloom this year, I guess because we had such a cool, rainy June. They grew as plants but didn't bloom until the beginning of August.


So I'm trying to enjoy them as much as I can in the limited time we'll have together. ("To love that well which thou must leave ere long," I guess.)
