Pheasant berry
The odd looking flowers on Leycesteria formosa just now, the blackbirds (and maybe pheasants) will no doubt be back later for its tasty berries.
It's native and widespread in the Himalayas and parts of China and has loads of fun common names including....
Himalayan honeysuckle, pheasant-eye, Elisha's tears, flowering nutmeg, spiderwort, Cape fuchsia, whistle stick, Himalaya nutmeg, granny's curls, shrimp plant, Wind flute, Firecracker, Ghost bamboo, Grinding naked seed, Monkey orange.
