A colourful note: fuchsia is a purplish-pink colour named after the plant of the same name. The plant was discovered in the late 17th century and was named in honour of a famous German botanist, Leonhard Fuchs (1501–66).
The first recorded use of fuchsia as a colour name in English was in 1892 and it became a Crayola crayon in 1990.

I spend a lot of time in London, but this was a discovery for me! Apparently the lights were put in before the 2012 Olympics.

Fun image! I have trouble spelling fuchsia. Every time I post a picture of the flower by that name, I have to look it up.

I reckon I’m a good speller but I spell it wrong too (fuschia) – it’s a very common mistake though! 😇
