Geocache Description:

Fuchsias have been my favourite hanging flowering plant for a long time. Maybe it's the colour of the blooms that I'm attracted to since they always brighten my day. If there's one basket that I purchase each May, it has to be a hanging basket of fuchsias, preferably in the most common colours of pink and purple.




 
 

By answering the following questions including a couple about the history of fuchsias, you will undoubtedly learn something new about this beautiful flower and find out where the cache is hidden by applying the answers to the incomplete coordinates.

 

Figure out the digital root (DR) for each of the following six questions to find out where the fuchsia is blooming.


N45° 19.FLO W075° 58.WER


F) This flower was named after which famous German botanist? (First and last name)

L) Which species of fuchsia reportedly produces the best berry for making jam with a citrus and peppery flavour? (Yum!) (Use the two full words of the species) Subtract 4.

O) In the scientific classification, in which "order" is fuchsia? Subtract 5.

W) On which Caribbean island did botanist Charles Plumier disover Fuchsia triphylla? Subtract 5.

E) In 1993, Russia issued a beautiful postage stamp which featured fuchsias. What is the DR of the two digit number on this stamp?

R) What is the HTML code for Fuchsia? (Exclude the "#" symbol when calculating the DR) Add 2.


You will find sufficient parking at GZ. Good luck!
