PHOTO BY JENNIFER CAPPUCCIO MAHER When is a fuchsia not a fuchsia? We found ourselves asking that question after learning that our November issue had a photo of the wrong plant. We invited David Schroeder of the Chino Basin Water Conservation District to offer his suggestions for five easy-to-grow water misers in the way of trees, shrubs and plants for local gardens. One of the plants he suggested was the California fuchsia, pictured above. Much to our dismay, we had printed a photo of the constantly thirsty tropical fuchsia. Our apologies. Schroeder’s story is still a good read and can be found online at www.inlandlivingmagazine.com/issues/nov_08/home2.php Mother’s Day WEEKEND Enjoy a positively delicious day in California’s Native Garden!
