Found in: “Instructions on Not Giving Up” by Ada Limon line 1 – “More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out”

The word fuchsia means a shrub with deep pink, red, and purple showy flowers. This helps me better understand the poem because it helps explain why the author choose to compare the fuchsia funnels to not giving up.
