    Hello
    This very colourful shrub is doing really well in our new garden, I just don't know what it's called? Also does anyone perhaps know if the red berries are poisonous?
    Thank you for any information.

    Thank you very much jimmyq, plantlady62 and Michael F - I'm very pleased to now know what this plant is called (it's common name is most descriptive, isn't it?). Your help was much appreciated!
