This Monday I saw these berries at the Weekly Lisse Flowershow.
One kind are from a shrub and the other ones are from a bulbous plant... anybody knows them??

Are the red seeds Littonia modesta?  I'm sure I've seen the brown ones too but can't think of a name.  Bladder nut comes to mind.  Staphyllea?

I'm with Lori - Iris foetidissima with the red seeds. No idea what the brown ones are. And the large red - maybe a crabapple?

If they had been yellower I would have said sea buckthorn?

A guess: could be Viburnum opulus Xanthocarpum (Yellow-berried Guelder Rose).

No wonder you came to Scotland for good food, Luit!   ;D

Do you have custard on them?

Lori and Paddy, you are on the same wrong trail as most people in the Show Hall, but Roma has the right solution.
Roma, you do surprise many times with your enormous knowledge. Staphylea are the other berries.
You may have a look at the Weekly Lisse Show where I put the names to the berries.

Paddy, Roma solved the whole puzzle.... Littonia pods with the red berries and Staphylea for the brown.
