Fuchsia flowers

Ideally try to find cutting material without flowers or buds.
however, having said that, they shouldn't come to any harm. I often have flowers appear on my cuttings and sometimes I leave them and sometimes I don't.
The reasoning behind this is that you want the root system to develop to support the young plant and having flowers diverts some of the energy of the cutting into the flower instead of where you want it, the roots.
Hope that answers your question.
As with most things in the garden, plants usually cope.

Forgot to say, Auntie Jinks is an old favourite fuchsia and your cuttings look fine.
normally with most cuttings it is preferable to insert around the side of the pot but not absolutely necessary.
Another trick when taking cuttings is to put 7 or 8 small fuchsia tip cuttings of the same variety into a 2" - 3" pot and keep them in that pot until requiring moving up a size pot. You then treat the whole batch as if it was one plant and grow on. You can get real impressive plants that way. It is called multi plant culture and as far as I know it is specific to fuchsia growing.
If growing for show you have to check that the schedule allows for more than one plant in the pot.
Oh, and another trick is to look for three leaves growing from the stem instead of the usual pair of leaves.
This will give a more branched and floriferous plant as their will be three side shoots instead of the usual two.
