Default Flowering Quince

You are both quite welcome. I took that picture on March 20,2007 and
since then both bushes have turned light pink but the show is almost
over. The leaves have started coming out and the flowers will be gone in
another week. I am awaiting a Orange Quince( five years old ) that will
be blooming for the first time possibly this week. We planted the
Quinces 12 years ago to produce some fruit for my wife's Finnish
Grandmother without knowing that that variety flowers profusely but
gives very little fruit. They are pretty enough that their place in the
yard is safe.

These are two Quinces that have been in the ground for about 12 years.
I love the way the blooms start out white and darken to pink over the
course of a week, these are the darkest I've seen.
