The length of the entire bloom is about 10-12 inches, too.<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Cameron</STRONG>, I DO love white blooms as well. These are not a stark white however... more on the ivory/greenish side which makes them sort of blend in with the dark green leaves.

Thanks a bunch. I would never have suspected Clerodendrum and yet there are over 450 species. Do you grow this or did you just know what it was?<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Linda</STRONG>, it is always good to get other opinions--- helps one to see plants in a whole different light.

I'd say it's a keeper, according to the info over there, they'll have red and green berries right around the holidays.<BR/><BR/>And thanks Jan!
