That was my first thought too. Or Atropa belladona?

You guys are getting too good at this. It is a Clerodendrum x speciosum.

You do grow some interesting plants, John.
I am only familiar with the Clerodendrum with the blue fruit, I think it might be C. trichotomum.

We also grow Clerodendrum bungei and C chinense, Alice, but not C trichotomum.
