Can't you see the silhouette effects of the image above—green and beautiful?** Today, within the garden, I found this plant. But can you believe that the identifier on iNaturalist failed to identify it correctly? It gave me a plant with a similar flower, but considering the texture of the leaves, I knew that wasn't it at all. It is not. My eyes cannot deceive me into thinking that what I saw was what I wanted. 😂 Immediately, I went to Google Images and searched for the real scientific name. *Hmmm!* ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQme2Xii7oo8hvUEpgqVitd4z1oTMWm1KZgUMa9VjGRrATG/1754648440016.jpg) **Clerodendrum johnstonii** is the actual scientific name. My advice to you all is this: never finalize the name of any plant without doing your own research. Some plants might have similar leaves but differ in their stalk.
