Wild California fuschias around a rocky outcrop opposite Bear Spring.

This is one of few California wildflowers that blooms during the hot late-summer months. I really like these and have planted quite a few of these on my property at home.

These plants spread by the roots. If you want to have hummingbirds in your yard, plant a big patch of these.
