Just enthralling ...

Scientific name: Clerodendrum splendens
Flowering glorybower is native to western Africa. It is a semi-woody evergreen vine, which climbs by twining. The scarlet-red flowers formed in terminal clusters are very vibrant and attractive. The plant extract is used for treating wounds and infectious conditions in Africa. On 29th Aug. 2011 afternoon i just moved out with my camera to capture some photographs and it so happened that i could get this snap just opposite of my institute in Mysore.
