burning bush
Autumn-red garden plant
A burning bush is any of several shrubs with fiery red autumn foliage, especially the winged euonymus.
The name comes from the biblical account of God speaking to Moses through a bush that burned without being consumed.
The plant name captures how the shrub's fall color seems to glow like flame: The burning bush by the fence turned brilliant crimson in October.
