The Starburst bush (Clerodendrum quadriloculare) gets its name for fairly obvious reasons. It is native to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea and has the potential to be very invasive, though that’s not the case in Hawaii, at least currently.

Wonderful burst of colours. Really pretty, pity the plant can be a pest

It is pretty. I think it lacks a pollinator here, or maybe it is incapable of reproduction because of its origin.

That could be the case. I wonder why we don’t seem to have it here. New Guinea is just over there

It is beautiful, too bad it has the potential to be an invasive plant.

Indeed. Not sure why it’s not invasive here. Might have to do with the lack of a good pollinator.
