Red-flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum) photographed on 11 February 2023.
P.S. Other Ribes species are sometimes called gooseberries. There's a fun resemblance between their fruit and the "sea gooseberry" (a ctenophore, or comb jelly). See for yourself in one of my earliest NHBH posts back in 2012 -- "A two gooseberry day".

Oh, ribes! I had three native ribes bushes in my garden for a few years, so beautiful... and the scent of the leaves was delicious. They died an early death, I know not why, and I miss them.
