    Love your post, also love Dunedin, especially the chocolate. Your unknown flower is a fuchsia, which is on the way to becoming a weed in parts of the world, originally from South America.

    That flower is a fuchsia and it is one of my faves too! Enjoy reading about your adventures!

    Let me just say this, you two are adorable! Handsome doesn’t begin to cover it. The tuxes with lapel pins ( Mr Sparlkes’ should be on my dress)💋, your outstanding shoes❤️, and the photo proof of your adventure warms my heart. Wish I could have joined you. Oh, about those flowers, I think they may be from a Fuchsia Plant. Xox

    Hi from Dunedin! Florida that is. I believe your plant may be a variety of Bleeding Hearts. We have some growing in the yard against a trellis, most people have them in hanging baskets. Even on the odd week in Winter when our night temps drop to freezing + below while most of our plants and tropical trees need to be covered in sleeping bags if not brought in, these get freeze burnt but amazingly have always come back. I doubt They would even in north FL. They must have great roots. The most important thing is Congratulations on your nuptials! You both look delish! BTW what size are those snazzy shoes? Hope you find the plant…look in a tropical nursery.

    Fuchsia! Always gorgeous. Like men in formal wear. 😀

  7. Wendy Hatley says:

    That’s a fuchsia. They like shade and lots Of wAter so very hard to grow in Australia. They look like ballet dancers to me.

    I can see why you’d be hooked on the gorgeous fuchsia – they’re also know as dancing ladies !! and they’re available us some awesome colour combos !! The shoes – gah 😍😍 another wonderful instalment that has me wanting to jump on a cruise right now !

  9. Nancy Nielsen says:

    I think the flower might be a Fuchia (sp). Not sure of the spelling, but my grandparents used to have tons of them growing in hanging pots.
    Love the stories of your travels, love all the pictures, and I love your shoes !!!!
    Love you too.

    Don’t you 2 scrub up well in your fancy suits and bow ties – and thoseflowers are my favourite garden plant – Fuchsia – I have them in 10 different colourways and mine flower throughout the summer, sometimes into October and November, if we get a good mild autumn 🙂 Thanks for sharing your wonderful holiday snaps in NZ 🙂

    You guys look gorgeous and it looks like a fabulous trip. I was thinking the flower was fuchsia and after reading the other comments I now know my hunch was correct.

    Miss Molli,
    That flower is known in the states as a fushia. It comes in many colors.

  14. Diane says:

    My mom, too, used to have hanging pots of fushia (sp?) in all different colors. They were beautiful. This was in LA, which probably has similar weather to Sydney, so I suspect you cold grow them. Fabulous trip, by the way!
