Types of Fireworks<\/h2>\n
\"Firework<\/figure>\n

There are several categories of fireworks, and there are variations in shape, sound and behavior even within those categories.<\/p>\n

Spherical Fireworks<\/h3>\n

Spherical fireworks are some of the most popular and widely used types of fireworks. The large flower-like blooms fill the sky with color and make a great impact either as a singular image, or in small groups. Other flower-themed fireworks are favorites, too, like Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Diadem, Peony, and Pistil. Like the Chrysanthemum, a Brocade has trailing stars or sparks that float down following the initial burst. Others, like the Dahlia or Peony, do not have trailing sparks, but they display a large burst before burning out.<\/p>\n
