    Hi,
    My wife planted these two shrubs and she can't remember their names. I really have no clue what they are, but I do believe they are quite common. Thanks.

    I'd guess #2 is a Callicarpa (beauty berry, and other common names).

    It almost looks like a saggy pernettya.

    2. The red twigs remind me of Vaccinium sp. Please can you post a pic when it starts to flower.
