![Euonymus europaeus 'Red Cascade'](https://veronicapeerless.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/photo-e1354654719112.jpg)
I was feeling a little overworked and overwrought the other day, so I thought I’d go for a stomp around Regent’s Park and feel the calming effects of some green space.
This stopped me in my tracks. It’s a Euonymus europaeus ‘Red Cascade’, I think. When you read descriptions of it, they mostly mention its excellent autumn leaf colour. But last week it was smothered in lipstick-pink seed pods, which look like tiny, drooping flowers. They lit up this corner of the park.
And rather poisonous!
Ooh, didn’t know that!
