Flowering now Can anyone identify? Thanks in advance.
Could that possibly be Leycesteria formosa? Doesn't normally flower this time of year, but if it's in a sheltered place...
It looks like it to me Liri
I think you're right - I knew it looked familiar, but the time of year confused me !
Are they the bracts left over after the seeds have dropped rather than new flowers?
The black berries that form are edible and taste of nutmeg - but you wouldn't want too many of them as they're a bit bitter

I think you're right Nut ... it's a shrub that can give very good value
