spindle tree
 

The capsules of Euonymus europaeus, captured in December, still having a
nice pink colour. I tried to take a pic one week later, and they all
were brown and dried. The bush grew wild in my backyard and bore these
appealing fruits for the first time. In German they are called '
"Monks' caps".
