Fuchsia microphylla (Small-leaf Fuchsia)

Native to Mexico, Fuchsia microphylla is a densely branched shrub of mountain forests, ravines and slopes, including highland pine, oak and fir woods. Red to pink flowers hang singly where the leaves meet the branches. Each flower has a narrow tube, with the sepals spreading at its tip. Wild populations can include plants that bear only female flowers as well as plants with bisexual flowers. Photographed in Colombia.
