Combretum, also known as Flame Creeper, has an interesting story. Legend has it that this vibrant flowering plant was once green and dull. However, a flock of colorful birds rubbed their feathers against its leaves, transferring their radiant pigments over time. As a result, Combretum bloomed with fiery red, orange, and yellow flowers, mesmerizing all who saw it. This transformation symbolizes the power of nature’s influence to create beauty. Combretum continues to enchant with its brilliant hues, reminding us of the magic that lies within the natural world.

Short Description
Combretum, the bushwillows or combretums, make up the type genus of the family Combretaceae. The genus comprises about 272 species of trees and shrubs, most of which are native to tropical and southern Africa, about 5 to Madagascar, but there are others that are native to tropical Asia, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, Australia, and tropical America. Though somewhat reminiscent of willows (Salix) in their habitus, they are not particularly close relatives of these.
