Full Description: globosa, commonly known as the Orange Ball Tree, is a stunning flowering shrub admired for its large, spherical clusters of vibrant orange flowers. Native to South America, this plant not only adds a bold splash of colour to gardens but also attracts pollinators such as butterflies and bees. The fragrant blooms make it a popular choice for ornamental planting, and in some traditional medicine practices, parts of the plant have been used for minor medicinal purposes, such as soothing inflammation and treating minor skin irritations. Its bushy growth habit creates a visually striking feature in garden borders, patios, and landscape plantings.
