Quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) blossom
Branch of quince blossoms
This is not the edible quince, though I have heard the fruit from this plant can be made into delicious jellies.

It's a lovely flower, such a vibrant red which is one of my favorite colors. I've heard of that kind of jelly but never tried it. Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday!
I was just about to inquire about the jelly.
Lovely flowers indeed! You are lucky to have a neighbor with them!
The color, (or colour for us Canadians,) is phenomenal!
Now I know what they are called. I have seen these this spring and wondered. Beautiful shots.
Very pretty. We went to a restaurant once in Deland, Florida, which served edible flowers. I wonder if one of them was the edible quince.
Hope you have a great week!
Great pictures of flowering Quince with beautiful colours. I use Quince (Cydonia oblonga) for jelly.
- Cheers Gisela.
A wonderful flower - I knew of the fruit, but not this pretty flower. Thanks for sharing.
I love the crispness on these photos.
EG: Quite the beautiful bloom.
I'll have to check if my neighbor's quince is blooming. She lets me make quince jelly from the fruit.
Beautiful photo! Thank you capturing the quince's beauty so well. I kept trying ... and failing.
Fantastic flowers and what lovely color.
Have a nice week

The quince is so beautiful and that's great that your neighbor has a tall hedge of it for you to enjoy.
Quince flowers are so striking and the fruits are pretty too though we never have enough to do anything with them. A 5' hedge - gorgeous!

What a lovely color. Great shots.
Love the color, it's nice to know it can be made into jelly. It's beautiful.

Is this the same as japonica? It's a very similar colour.
I have a flowering quince, but it is not flowering yet. Those thorns are fierce though. I have made quince jelly from the edible kind - very delicious it is too.
I liked the first one but then I saw the whole group of blossoms and love it even more! Just beautiful!
Such beautiful blooms. I haven't seen these flowers before. I love its colour. Great shots.
Magnificent color in these flowers! Great shot!
Gorgeous! I've never seen such beauty around here.
The Quince are starting to bloom here too. I have made Quince jelly too. I once gave one of my daughter's boyfriend a Quince and told him it was an apple. I think he is still all puckered up. I thought it was funny. He didn't come back very often. Good!! BTW: excellent pic.
Oh, how I love these strikingly beautiful blossoms.
What a beautiful color, looks like spring arrived at your house.

A beautiful color of flower. I was going to ask about the jelly making but I see you answered as I read on down.
Stunning! Thanks for your visit.
