This is one of my favorite vining shrubs. It blooms for a long, long time and is pretty tough here. It's native to tropical West Africa. Photo taken August 12, 2010 at the Marsten House in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA.

I do already have a Clerodendrum Camillia - C. Ugandense. It's one of my favourite plants and I couldn't resist posting another photo of it today.

Camillia:
C. thomsoniae grows very quickly...like most Clerodendrum. I'm sure it thrives in your tropical climate.

Meanie:
LOL!!! That's great! I think you're going to be pleased with how well C. thomsoniae grows and blooms over a long period of time.

I'm looking forward to it next year already.

Meanie:
It doesn't have flowers on it yet?
I guess I'm so used them being sold here in big containers for the yard already with hundreds of flowers on them. : > )

Just a few flowers. I potted it on as it was severely pot bound. The nursery have clearly been cutting the tips out to keep it compact. But as it was reduced to three quid I couldn't pass up on one again!

Meanie:
Sounds like you got a great deal on your plant.
Your plant should bloom for a long time.

Hopefully it'll be as rapid growing as my C.Ugandense Delonix.

Meanie:
I've never grown a Clerodendrum that hasn't been fast growing yet. : > )

These are pretty widely available here as house plants and I keep picking them up and putting them down. Maybe next time.
