Purple Fuchsia flower in park.
as per wiki, Fuchsia /ÃËfjuÃÂÃÆÃâ¢/, FEW-shÃ⢠is a vivid pinkish-purplish-red color,[1] named after the color of the flower of the fuchsia plant, which was named by a French botanist, Charles Plumier, after the 16th-century German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
The color fuchsia was first introduced as the color of a new aniline dye called fuchsine, patented in 1859 by the French chemist François-Emmanuel Verguin. The dye was renamed magenta later in the same year, to celebrate a victory of the French army at the Battle of Magenta on 4 June 1859 near the Italian city of that name.[2]
