Thanks Chrispook, this shrub came with the birds...or somesuch. Nice when things happen like that. Think I will try taking some cuttings and starts some for my front garden...winter colour.

Red stems would make me think dogwood too. The one I have has variegated leaves and came from our garden center, but this looks like our native Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus sericea ).

I thought that dogwood flowers were much larger...like the B.C. emblem...completely forgot about the osier...thankyou both, very much.

Is it a type of dogwood, coloured bark variety such as Cornus sibirica. The stems aren't visible but my Cornus has flowers that look like this.
