Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Fabulous foliage Fuchsia which Duane West found in New Zealand and selected for having the best flash of the multitudes he had driven by. Dan Hinkley named this 'Kiwi Sheen' and gave it to Monrovia who put a patent on it. Well, we were offering it first so to hell with the patent.
