    Ah, yes, I think those are Euonymus berries. I don't know which Euonymus you've got, but they're pretty bushes. :D

    Various choices of Euonymus too, from E europaeus to E. planipes via japonicus and hamiltonius. All produce smilar fruits. Inside each quarter is a seed. If you want to increase the number of plants, they are dead easy from fresh seed. Collect it now before it drops and sow straight away. Leave pot exposed to winter weather and it germinates in Spring.
