Flowering quince

Though I marvel at the creations of artists and sculptors, my favorite Artist is the one who conceived the flowering quince. A hardy shrub with tough stems, it's among the first to blossom in the spring. The flower color isn't red, pink, orange, or coral. It's quince, I guess, and it glows with the promise of springtime.

Bottle Creek Retreat is full of flowering quince, and it was difficult to choose the best of my 15 (!) flowering quince crosses.
