Not much foliage on a splindly plant, lots of flowers or fruit opening. Thought it may be a spindle berry but the colours are wrong, any ideas?
Many Thanks

Agree with ecrane - those are the fruits from Clerodendrum trichotomum.

Hi,
I believe it to be Turk's Turban, Clerodendrum indicum seeds:

The picture above matches the pictures in a gardening article in our local paper on Clerodendrum trichotomum. The sparse foliage and lax growth habit along with the turquoise fruit are supposed to be positive indicators according to LSUAGCenter.

I think that more information is needed as to the growth habit of the plant to make a positive id. That looks like one small piece of the flower/seed heads on the Clerodendrum indicum plant to me. Clerodendrum indicum and Clerodendrum trichotomum have different growth habits, so photos of the whole plant would be helpful.
