Peanut butter star and pea

Last autumn, someone here on 365 posted a photo of this fruit. And I loved it so much. That greenish blue is so lovely. I ordered a bush and watched it bloom https://365project.org/monikozi/365/2022-08-08
And here it is ripening the bluish bead, seated on a pink star. Isn't this lovely!

Lovely. I have never heard of a peanut butter tree. I wonder how it got its name.

@ludwigsdiana @ingrid01 @rensala @wakelys @pyrrhula @cdcook48 @kchuk Official name is Clerodendrum trichotomum. Its common 'peanut butter tree' name comes from the fact that the leaves leave a peanut butter fragrance on your hand when you touch them. If smelled like one would smell a flower, they don't smell. The flowers have a peanut fragrance.
In this shot, the bluish pea is the fruit (I guess).
