Flowering Quince

One of the highlights of my spring is the blooming of the flowering quince.  It’s not a particularly beautiful bush, kind of straggly in fact.  I guess it’s the color – a dark salmon – that you don’t see too often that attracts me.  This bush is in a friend’s yard, mine isn’t this large yet, and isn’t really worthy of a photo.

  1. I’ve had the same thoughts about some of my plants. It’s nice that you could find a substitute subject to photograph!

  2. Ohhhh, I remember one of those in the yard from my childhood. I guess I haven’t seen them often because I didn’t know what it was called! Lovely color blossoms.

  3. I like to grow one in my garden …would you know where I could get one to plant? Can they survive in Perth?
