Clerodendrum trichotomum

I have never seen anything like this - I had to touch it to check it was real?! Help me identify this tree that was set in the grounds of a hotel #notmygarden #anniversarylunch we spent as much time exploring the grounds as we did having lunch, you can take the gardener out of her garden but...

It looks like a type of Hypericum - not sure which one though ☺

Oh thank you @anges

Good morning Carole it's Clerodendrum trichotomum , beautiful little tree very poisonous but absolutely stunning seed heads x

Awh thank you so much Sam 😊@icedance

Thanks Sam @icedance Sorry Carole! 😀 @carolecuttingitfine

No thank you @anges I was just having google, at least you had an idea where I had none!

I had the same problem when we inherited one in the front garden of our new house but managed to find another example at Trebah Gardens in Cornwall. I love the little white star flowers and the bright blue berries. It’s a bugger for suckering though!

Absolutely love these! 💕💙💕 almost bought one at the weekend, but common sense prevailed (I know, never happened before 😆) as I really don’t have anywhere to put it!

@Anges I think all Hypericum flowers are yellow apart from the albiflorum which are white or, rarely, very pale pink

Well having read that Sam says they are very poisonous I’m definitely giving them a miss, @rachelbrooks I’ll just have to go back for lunch to the hotel 😉 but more worryingly you were sensible?! Who has hacked your account?! Bring back enabling Rachel who encourages us all to shop by taking the lead! Oh @houseofflowers I’ve been there but not obviously in November as I think I’d remember such vivid berries! That’s why GardenTags is so good for identifying plants!

😆😆😆 I must’ve been coming down with something...🤷🏻‍♀️😉 I’m sure it’s only a temporary lapse of sanity! 😜 (I did buy other stuff though! 🙈) and well of course! Wouldn’t want you to miss out seeing such gorgeous little flowers! 👍🏼😉
