Euonymus americanus
The bright red seed capsule of Euonymus americanus bursts open in the fall, giving the plant it's "Bursting-heart" common name. I watched for the first hint of these at the end of summer, and finally found some. Here's a sighting of another specimen in flower: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/243...
Native to Eastern US.
