Firework Effects; Shell Burst Comparison
| Burst Effect | Image | |
| Palm | Contains large comets or charges in the shape of a solid cylinder, that travel outwards, explode and then curve downward like the limbs of a palm tree. |  |
| Brocade Crown | Large spherical display of color falling down with very fine, soft long lasting trails of color. Usually silver or gold. The displyed image also includes a 2-colour pistil |  |
| Serpentine / Swimming Fish / Bees / Dragons |
Bursts to send small stars swarming outward in random directions, similar to a school of startled fish. Depending on the size of the effect, it can be described as either bees, fish or dragons. Stars sometimes culminate in exploding effect. |
 |
| Floral Shell | An effect that bursts into many small groups of differnt colours that is similar in shape to a bouquet of flowers. |  |
| Ring Shell | An effect that shoots straight out to create a large circle/ring in the sky. The outer ring has a bright strong light to it while the inside lines/trails are softer light creating almost a Ferris wheel in the sky. |  |
| Willow / Falling Leaves | Contains stars with a high charcoal content creating a long-burning effect that bursts similar to a pistil and then falls slowly in the shape of willow branches., or as a group of falling leaves. |  |
| Chrysanthemum | Bursts into a dense, spherical pattern of stars, each of which leaves a visible trail as it moves out from the center. The effect is very similar to the flower it is named after. |  |
| Peony / Dahlia | A Peony shell bursts into a dense, flower like spherical pattern of stars moving outwards from the center, but unlike the Chrysanthemum, it does not leave a visible trace from the center. The Dahlia is very similar, but bursts with fewer, larger and longer lasting stars. |
 |
| Pistil | Small "core" effect that busrst in the center of a larger chrysanthemum or other display. The core and outer effects are generally different colors. |  |
| Crossette | An aerial shell that bursts in a set of stars which each split in four directions, propelled outward in a cross or + shape, leaving a trail as they travel. |  |
| Comet | Like an aerial shell but does not burst into a display. Instead it leaves a thick trail of sparks into the air eventually burning itself out. |  |
| Strobe Shell | Bright flashing stars that blink on and off repeatedly after the initial burst. |  |
