    What beauties, Dooley. I shall have to open a jar of quince jelly in honour of your blooms.
    Very nice.

    Really lovely Dooley. :stew2: I have a quince but it's an orange flowering one and doesn't bloom until late summer.

    It tellings us its going to get cold.That is what my mother always
    said when she saw hers blooming.I never saw one that produced fruit.
    Dooley's is from a cutting that my mother gave her niece and she planted it over there as it was her property then.She bought the land from mother.

    What a pretty color that is too. Nice to see that green grass behind it too.

    Fabulous. A hint of spring and the joy of colours to come. You have tempted us now, whetted our appetite for spring and sunshine. :)
