Starburst, shooting star, fireworks flower are the given english names or names associated to this small tree, but the Philippine official local name given to Clerodendrum quadriloculare is Bagauak-morado. Morado in Spanish means purple, which is the evident underside color of its leaves, while the uppermost leaf coloration is green to dark green. This bush that grows to a small tree is a common ornamental species that is landscaped throughout Metro Manila, capital of the Philippines. The foliage alone is already interesting enough as one would see glimpses of the leaves underside to be in contrast to the dark green upper partof the leaves. Moreso, this small tree is even more spectacular when clusters offlowers abound on the apex of stems as if a splash or burst of white/cream petals and white-pink-fushia-crimson red hues of the corolla may vary according to specimen.
As i walk along the trail, my eyes are nourished by the dense undergrowth and tiers of magnificent giants of the forest all seems to be in awe. The cool moist air and dapples of light soothes my senses and i am drawn deeper into its core. I hear silence and cicadas harmonious symphony just after a short morning drizzle. Soon a quaint pitter patter heightens as i go forth....... At last, i am home!
