Cluster of flowers in the Rose Garden at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California
This cluster of berries fascinated me. Each berry was in a different stage of decay and there was evidence of buds so that the whole process would restart in the spring.
What an amazing spray of delightful tiny five-petaled flowers! With long sweeping filaments that glisten in the morning sunlight! A floral pagoda indeed!
An erect, open semiwoody shrub with large evergreen leaves and huge showy clusters of orange-red or scarlet flowers held above the foliage. The bush sometimes has multiple stems and gets to be 3-5 ft tall and 2-3 ft across. The handsome, tropical leaves can be as large as 12 in across, they have heart shaped bases; lower leaves are lobed and upper leaves entire. They are arranged in opposite pairs along the fast growing stems which often branch from the roots rather than from a single trunk.
The flowers are funnel shaped with long tubes. The flowers within the pyramid-shaped cluster are tiered like a Japanese pagoda. The showy display lasts from summer through autumn with sporadic flowering throughout the year in frost free climates.

I love looking closer how different flowers grow.
These tiny flowers are maybe 3 mm and altogether they for these clusters gathered on the branches and when the shrub is in full bloom it looks like it is snow-covered.
A joy in the morning, seen from my kitchen window.
Thank you for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)
