Heart's-a-busting - Euonymus americanus

 Hearts-a-busting - Euonymus americanus

Also known as the Strawberry Bush, this member of the Staff Tree family grows as a small shrub featuring small insignificant flowers in late spring to early summer. Far more striking are the fruit which emerge from the pod. The common name arose from the perceived resemblance of fruit to a heart so filled with love that it couldn't hold it in.
