any plant experts from the south - Georgia?
somebody on another board looking to ID this:

comments were: it gets super tall and then flops over in an arch b/c of the weight of all these waxy seed pods. it has white/yellowish flowers in the spring and then these vibrant red/blue waxy spike of seedpods in the fall. they have sort of a tuberous taproot. the leaves are (i think) whorled with 4 leaves at each node.

1. Harlequin Glorybower or Clerodendron trichotomum. It's a
showy thing, very fragrant, and the butterflies go crazy over it.

I had one that died back a few years ago. It's still hanging on in spite of the drought here in GA, and we're hope for a return to it's former glory (no pun intended!)
