General Information for Visitors.

The Australian Fuchsia Society, based in Adelaide, South Australia, has provided this basic site to serve the needs of fuchsia loving folk, not only in our great country, but worldwide. Despite the difficult growing conditions (high temperatures and at times drought) and the vast distances, the AFS has provided a service to its members and staged Annual Shows for over 37 years.

In welcoming you to our site, we hope that you will enjoy the Photo Galleries and gain from the information provided. Light on gimmicks such as revolving text, etc., we hope that you'll find our site simple and user friendly.

Very much appreciated are comments placed in the "Guest book*. However, when these take the form of requests for information, a team of AFS experts will do their best to provide answers. Articles for the Journal are welcomed from interstate and overseas, even more so if they are accompanied by photographs of cultivation methods/fuchsias. Use the private message option if you wish to leave your contact email address.

A convenient downloadable Membership Application Form  is also available which enables fuchsia lovers worldwide to become members of the AFS and at a very moderate cost, receive quarterly issues of a 28 page booklet on fuchsia cultivation. A reduced resolution electronic sample of the Journal can be accessed on this site.

In an effort to share our love of this beautiful flower, links have been provided to not only the major international societies, but also to individual growers - their input is welcome. In the case of the latter, the AFS takes every care to ensure the integrity of these sites but cannot take responsibility for the services or the material displayed - enjoy!
