Clerodendrum trichotomum (harlequin glorybower, glorytree, peanut butter tree) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Clerodendrum. It is placed in the family Lamiaceae, or sometimes the Verbenaceae. It is native to China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and India.[1]

It is a large shrub, growing 3–6 metres (10–20 ft) high. The leaves are ovate, up to 12 cm (5 in) long, soft and downy or hairy, producing a peanut odor when crushed. The fragrant flowers are borne on branching peduncles. They have white petals, held within a green calyx which turns red as the fruits ripen. The fruits (drupes) are white, changing to bright blue and eventually dark blue on maturity.[2]

It is cultivated for its fragrant flowers, autumn colour, and ornamental berries. It is hardy but requires a sheltered position. The variety C. trichotomum var. fargesii (Farges' harlequin glorybower) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]

My interest in art began at a very young age and has continued throughout my life in various mediums. First love has always been painting, and led to my pursuit of a degree in art which has contributed to several career opportunities in design. I enjoy the challenge of photography to capture the beauty of the world around me as I see it. Welcome to my fine art website, all comments are appreciated, and please return to view updates.
