Dennis, Your sighting, if it had red and green flowers, is probably Fuchsia
fulgens. The F. decidua had red tubular/funnelform flowers in handing
clusters. Only found them growing in the moss on oak trunks, along the
escarpment of the Sierra Minatlan, where the fog/clouds would pour over
irrigating and air conditioning the mountain in moisture and coolth.
Explored nearby rocky cliffs, which were plastered with lithophytes, but
didn't see the Fuchsia there. Fuchsia fulgens and F. decidua seem closely
related.
