Witches tongue

Not a super-great pic of the flowers, but they're such a bright bright white that it's difficult to get a good one. Definitely a musical note clerodendrum--they take the name from the flower form you can see before they've opened. The 'witches tongue' name comes from the fully-opened phase, with those honking purple tendrils hanging out all over the place. The tendrils all have a little dab of bright yellow pollen on the tips.
