I wish I knew how this tree is called!
I just liked it and took a picture!
I really don't know if these are its flowers or fruits!
The only thing I know is that it looks really pretty, doesn't it?
Thanks to Pat my plant has its name. It's Pyracantha !

Beautiful indeed Marina. Lovely photographs for Today's Flowers. We don't always need to know the names of the flowers we take, just to enjoy them and these photos are lovely.
That is truly a gorgeous tree! What a great shot:)
Those are beautiful! I saw similar here..Nice shots!~
Mine is, HERE. Have a great week ahead!
we have a tree similar in our yard. I have to pull out the photos and post next week. The tree is different shape then the one in your photo. Very pretty. Sorry I can't help you with the name.
Nice tree and red fruit.
I don't know what it is called. But, I have them in my yard and the birds eat the berries in the winter months.
The red berries let me know that the holiday season is upon us.
Wonderful shots.
I've seen this same tree/bush here in Southern California and was wondering what it is too :0)
I believe your bush to be a Pyracantha. This is a very pretty example.
I agree with pat it is a Pyracantha, they also come with golden berries.
Marina: They are really beautiful colors on the tree.
Hallo Marina,I just looked up your Pyracantha in wikipedia and found a photo of the red fruits that look just the same as on your beautiful picture. Here in Austria the bush is called Feuerdorn ("fire thorn") and we often find them in gardens. The blossoms are also very lovely in spring!
Well, they are certainly fruit but what tre that is I too don't know.
It is very pretty though.
Hello marina!
it looks like trees called "Nanten "
it's called Nandina in Europe.
this Nandina is from Japanese " Nanten "

Marina, that's really amazing!
The languages are really closely connected. pyr fire Feuer - these words sound very similar and could be the product of sound shifts.
Our boys in confessional schools had to study the old Greek language at my time, for instance in Jesuit order schools. Many of our words have Greek roots.
So funny that you noticed this connection here!
Thanks for visiting. My sister in law is married to a Greek! This is fascinating. Last name Joanas. My husband and I ate some grape leaves this past Saturday night that I bought from the Greek Food Festival here. Anyway, the plant is also known as Chinese Spinach and it is supposed to be edible.
I enjoy flowers too, without knowing the names of them! I always feel inadequate because I just say 'that pink one'.
Also, I only speak one language; I'm the usual uneducated (language-wise) Brit.
I believe it is a PYRACANTHA - Firethorn.
Lovely pictures.
Excellent post. I have this photo from far away.LOL
