I should probably know such things but in admiring beauty and color I tend to forget who plants really are.

I think this is a Fuschia plant Dora.

Crepe myrtle?

It looks like a Magnolia Ann flowering tree. Whatever it is, it’s beautiful!

Is it a plant or a tree? It looks rather like fuschia, but I’ve never seen one so large.

I know what it is. It is beautiful. No clue on the name, though. Good luck.

I guess you are testing me, hmmm? 😉 Spindle berry (Euonymus europaeus). The fruit is very poisonous, so care should be taken around young children and pets.

I don’t know, but I like the profuse color.

Not a test Eliza – just high respect for your knowledge of the plant kingdom. P.S. Yours is the most accurate identification of the Spindle Berry after I checked out several others. I am relieved to have the answer but sorry it is not a good plant for kids and animals. It was actually along a fence on a tourist walk of one of the original old farmsteads in the Black Forest.

The closest guess so far is Spindle Berry… but I agree, it resembles fuschia.

Wow! I looked that up and it does look a lot like the Magnolia Ann but this was not a tree – more like a big shrub. It might be Spindle Berry.

The color is right for a crepe myrtle but this wasn’t a tree – more like a shrub.

You are very close with the Fuschia guess Rita, but after looking up other responses, only one fits perfectly and that’s the Spindle Berry. I never heard of it either.

I’m relieved to hear it was in Germany. I’ve read that it has been introduced to the US and has become invasive (it is a relative of burning bush). The birds eat the fruit and spread the seed.

I don’t know either, but it is pretty!

Hate it that something so attractive has poisonous fruit and is also invasive. Sigh. But thanks so much for recognizing it and the history. 🙂
