[Bump from ’06 and ’07] How do they work? What makes the colors?

We saw a big, loud, dandy display last night at the County Fairgrounds. We were naming the fireworks. This got me to thinkin’…I bet they have names.

I googled and wiki’ed and, sure enough, they do have names! –Ones a lot like what we were coming up with!

Peonies, dahlias, willows, palms, beehives, spiderwebs…oh yeah!

Here’s the details…
