    Is it one of the many Weigela?

    Maybe this? https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/91392/...pureis/Details

          Weigela was on my mind as I'd just been watching the bees on mine - they love it

              Ok, here's another one I don't know the name of.

              Yellow flowers leading to some sort of berry formation like the second pic.

                Its a Hypericum - various types, commonly having red berries and yellow flowers.

                  Thanks VC, I did wonder about that as my own best guess

                  I've also got a different Hypericum in another part of the garden that's probably a St John's Wort 'Hidcote'.

                  This one's different, and I'd still like to know what variety of Hypericum it might be, but I can see the similarities.

                    I have a similar, but not the same, Hypericum. It came from a seed mix called “Magical Berries” some years ago.
                    It’s brilliant as a cut flower, but I have to strip the leaves because they tend to look “rusty”.

                      Here's mine - the berries change from red to black. Its just a wild one that's appeared.

                        I’ve a few but the dry weather has killed some off - not sure they will come back

                        Also have some with a variegated leaf - tricolour - cream that’s tingled with pink. It looks lovely in a vase topped with bright green berries. Though I’m not keen when the berries have gone over black.

                          Lovely healthy looking plant. Wish mine was like this, I wouldn’t have to spend ages cutting off all the rusty diseased leaves when I want to put some in a bunch.
