    Is it one of the Cornus/Dogwoods?
    Are the red things flower buds or berries?

        I don't think it's a dogwood but I may be wrong, I've got a variegated dogwood and it flowers in Spring and it has red branches, this doesn't. I'm pretty sure the red are flower buds. I will check in the AM.

          Being hopeless at plant identification my initial thought due to the emerging flower is some kind of hydrangea.

                It's been chucking it down all day !
                Though I'm sure it's a flower bud, been meaning to plant it for weeks, I thought it was dead and then it sprung into life so Im 80% sure it's not berries. I've trawled through a load of shrub photos last night and i still haven't got a clue.

                    Might this be it? The leaves are very similar. And maybe those buds will look like it when they open.

                      And here's another pic of the same plant at an earlier stage of opening, with buds something like yours

                        The leaf looks like a Dogwood, mine has only just stopped flowering, little white flowers, but I dont think I have ever had berries on it.

                          That's it I think Zelenina!
                          It's not a dogwood, close together they really are different. The red stuff is a cluster of flower buds ready to open. Will take a pic when it does, though as I snapped half the plant I'm not 100% it's going to live yet!
