CLERODENDRUM MYRICOIDES 'UGADENSE'

When not in bloom, this plant may not seem interesting.

But once the flowers are produced, it does not fail to attract my attention with its beautifully crafted bluish-white flowers that resemble a small butterfly. Hence, it is commonly known as the Butterfly Bush.

Even this day-flying moth is drawn to the flowers, as shown by this photo taken on 14 Jan 10.
