Fuchsia canescens


Native to southern Colombia, it is a shrub of moist Andean habitats. It grows about six to ten feet tall and has oval, finely toothed leaves arranged in whorls of three or four. Short, closely pressed hairs cover its leaves and young branches. Its hanging flowers have long red tubes, spreading floral segments and a rounded, four-lobed stigma extending beyond the stamens. Photographed in Colombia.
