Hi,
there are up to 400 species of clerodendrum, the most popular (in my
country) is
C. thomsonae, it's an eye catcher of the garden.
but there are several varieties that I think as good as c. thomsonae :
- c. paniculatum (pagoda flower)
- c. inerme (indian privet)
- c. calamitosum
I think your Nodding Ladies is c. thomsonae or c. philipinum.
if you want to make it sure, try send e-mail to  trubus@indo.net.id
it's the best gardening magazine in my country (indonesia, SEA).
