You may be right but I cannot find any semblance of it in the Fuschia Catalogues.
Also my so-called Victoria Bush has flowers which are better described as multi-chandelier flowers and the branches are of flimsy and hollow wood which break easily in the wind.
Not really a fuschia to my mind, but I am ready to be proved wrong
cheers

Thanks but I already spent a lot of time using Google and following their suggestions for useful possible links.
Also the new Firefox add-on which gives you other similar websites.
My spelling of fuchsia is not in question either ............although I just noticed that I have spelt it wrong in my previous letter
my apologies accepted ?

Didn't look like fuschia to me either, but I hadn't jumped in because I don't know what it is. You are in UK, so may have shrubs that are totally unfamiliar to us in USA. Do you know where it came from to ask there? Otherwise, perhaps just take a branch clipping to a good local nurseryman and ask. I tried googling Victoria Bush and got no hits relating to shrubbery (there is a British actress.... ), is that just a nickname?
Victoria bush is just a name I gave it...!
I notice that is very easy to mis-spell the fuchsia, even an expert like yourself !
The trouble is caused by the fact that the fuchsia was named by a gentleman called Fuchs and to give the flower a name which if pronounced correctly in German would be unkind.!
Thanks for your input.
The search goes on........

Thank you Scott
BUT I wonder why you are so definite when none of the flowers I have seen in your link are remotely similar to my "victorian bush"
If you look closely at the photos I took, the blooms are multi-tiered I.e there are as many as 4 distinct layers of configuration to each flower.
None of the flowers shown in your link are multi-tiered.
I think that we haven't perhaps found the species yet
cheers

check the instructions about posting pictures. The code you want is the one that says IMG not JPG. That will put the actual picture in your post, not a link. And people will be able to click on the picture and enlarge it. When we follow the link to these pictures they are very small and not enlarge-able, so very difficult to see any detail.
Here's a link to the instructions https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3724
