First-time blooming Japanese Clerodendrum

Clerodendrum trichotomum a.k.a. Peanut Butter Shrub, Harlequin Glory Bower - I have no idea where I got this, but it's in one of my shadiest gardens. I saw it growing last year, and hoped for it to be my Seven Son flower, but the leaves were wrong (based on veining).
From the spreading nature and the smell of the leaves, I thought it was some kind of clerodendrum. This year it finally bloomed, so I was able to positively ID it.
I'm so much a fan of things that bloom in the shade! I plan to move some to my "white" garden now that I know what it is.
