On a recent gray, dreary, rainy spring day I put on my walking clothes and braved the elements to forage some flowering quince branches that I had noticed while driving by a vacant lot on the way to the grocery store.
Flowering quince is my favorite spring bloom so I was happy to find some branches to enjoy in my home.They definitely brought some spring cheer into a wet and gloomy day!
still following,
What a lovely, soft color. Definitely would brighten any gloomy day. Great find. :)

I think that the quince blooms are especially lovely as well!
DeleteI love quince in bloom!
ReplyDeleteI do, too!
DeleteI don't think we get quince here locally, although I do get to buy quince jam/paste to pair with cheese at one of the supermarkets here.
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten quince before! This quince shrub is simply an ornamental variety.
DeleteBeautiful quince images, Elizabeth! Such a pretty sign of spring. We just spent a week in Hillsboro two weeks ago..and will be back next weekend for our only grandchild's first birthday. There really wasn't much blooming when we were there earlier, and I imagine I won't be able to visit blooms this time. My neighbor's quince isn't close to blooming, but we're still dropping below freezing at night.
