There are tons of different types of fireworks that can be seen across the world. Different cultures have different types of displays, but there are a few generalized categories that most types of pyrotechnics fall into. They vary greatly depending on how the stars are positioned and the number and type of stars that are used. Here, we'll take a look at some of the different categories.
Some of the more common forms of fireworks include peonies, chrysanthemums, and dahlias (named after flowers). They differ from each other in terms of the number of stars (points of light that spread out from the centre) and the stars' size. For example, the peony has a middling number of stars that burn with no tail effect, while the chrysanthemum leaves a visible trail from each star. The dahlia has a lesser number of larger stars. Willows are also similar to chrysanthemums but have stars that burn for long periods of time, creating an effect that looks like a weeping willow.
A palm is a type of shell that has a relatively smaller number of comet-like stars so that it bursts with multiple tendrils, creating an effect that looks like a palm tree. Palms also have a visible burning trail as they rise. A ring shell has the stars arranged in a certain way so that they launch out to create a circle, and there are variations on this that allow one to make hearts and clovers. A diadem is a type of shell similar to a peony except that it has a central cluster of stars that do not spread out, creating a contrasting colour effect. The crossette is a fireworks shell that contains multiple larger stars which spread out and then break into smaller stars, crossing over each other in their paths.
The spider is a high-impact shell that sends stars out very fast, yet they burn up quickly, creating a series of radial straight lines. The horsetail is a type of fireworks shell that goes a small distance and then fall, and is also known as a waterfall shell. Time rain shells are larger stars that burn more slowly, leaving a trail of sparks. Fish shells contain lots of stars that make unpredictable swimming patterns as they move away from the centre. There are many other types of pyrotechnic devices, but these are some of the more common and popular.
