Fuchsias at SF Botanical Garden

The San Francisco Botanical Gardens has a beautiful collection of fuchsias. There are about 110 species of fuchsias, most of which inhabit South America, with some species in Central America and the New Zealand area.  You might have read that Father Charles Plumier discovered them, but of course the first person to discover them did so thousands of years earlier.  They resemble ballerinas, or to my eye, Six-wired Birds of Paradise.
