Clerodendrum

Enjoy the Clerodendrum from last Spring. The butterfly is folded up and hard to see, but enjoy that too.

As I understand it, the bush is native to China and India. It does well under the shade of the holly tree in the back yard. It spreads like crazy by sending out runners under ground – and it smells like peanut butter when you break the leaves.
