If you are looking for a convenient way to get hold of fireworks for a special occasion then you should look to buy fireworks from ACME Fireworks.   Logon to check out the all the details of what various parts of a firework are and there are some fancy terms involved in this pyrotechnic thing.

The nice people at ACME Fireworks provide a really long list of technical firework terms such as Roman Candle (I know that thank you) and pistil which apparently is a small ball of stars in the center of a larger one.  I think that might be the one that explodes once and just as you’re coming back to earth yourself explodes a second time. Nice.

Perhaps my favourite name is a tourbillion.  A fancy title for a fancy firework effect, it’s a kind of star that rotates into the sky shedding large amounts of gold, silver, or white light.  I’ll have five please.

Gardeners Take Note

When you look to buy fireworks from ACME Fireworks here are some interesting effects to look out for – see if you notice anything;

• Peony – a circular splash of coloured lights in the sky.
• Chrysanthemum – A flower-like aerial pattern,
• Dahlia – A starfish like shape (why not call it a starfish then?)
• Willow – A huge golden willow tree in the sky.

I wonder if there are any frustrated gardeners at work in the pyrotechnics business
