How it's used

Commonly planted as an ornamental tree in Hong Kong parks and along roadsides due to its vibrant orange red flowers. It is often referred to simply by its name in botanical or gardening contexts, though it is not a native species to the region. The flowers are distinctive for their bell shape and ability to hold water, which children sometimes use to squirt others.
