Plant of the Day

The fragrant white flowers of Clerodendrum trichotomum (harlequin glorybower, glorytree, peanut butter tree) are followed by berries that turn bright blue, and then black, which contrast with the red calyx. This large deciduous shrub or small tree has a distinct scent to the foliage and it tends to produce new stems from the roots becoming a thicket.
