The fireworks tree bonsai is a spectacular sight when in full bloom.
The fireworks tree (Clerodendrum quadriloculare) is a small shrub in the genus Clerodendrum of the family Verbenaceae, native to Africa and the Pacific Islands, and is also found scattered in China. The fireworks tree has an attractive plant form, beautiful foliage, and brilliant, colorful flowers with dancing stamens. It blooms continuously from June to November, with a flowering period lasting as long as half a year. The flowers are terminal, long-tubular, in spreading clusters, with dense inflorescences and purple-red floral tubes; the front end bursts open into 5 pure white, colorful, long strip-shaped petals, like twinkling stars, as if they were clusters of fireworks set off during a festival. The exposed stamens are like golden threads and silver willows, bouncing and dancing nonstop when the breeze blows, and the fruit after flowering is colorful.
