California used to be one of the major sources of fuchsias. Probably still is outside of Europe, where fuchsias are a really big deal.
I KNOW there are more fuchsia people out there! Where are you!? I have a list of over 700 varieties of upright fuchsia's, let's post photos of our fuchsia's here and exchange info on how they grow for us.
A good example of why, is Lycioides. The Northwest Fuchsia Society lists it as only growing up to 2 feet high. But that is in zones where it freezes! Down here, mine would be over 6 feet high by now if I wasn't always cutting it! It is a blaze of red right now. The hummingbirds and bees are busy at it all day long.

Show us your fuchsias!
