Elegance amongst the thorns

In bloom once again, flowering quince is related to the edible quince and is part of the Rosaceae, or rose family, originating from China and Japan.

 

They love the sun, but they will also tolerate semi-shade and are incredibly water-wise, once established.

 

I love to see the disparity of the delicate flowers set against the bare, thorny stems. Truly a beautiful sight when flowering in spring time.
