Quince blossom. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Hermosas flores.

Thank you, José Manuel!

I like this ingenuity and the sharpness of your eye: a worthy observation and study, I agree (even if I struggle to follow their steps).
Have a Nice weekend too, Andy.

Thank you, Eric. I'm comparing this tree with the plant I uploaded three shots back! They look like the same plant (and yes, they are both quince) but the difference in size threw me at first!.

Many debates, from which I struggle to draw a certainty tonight (sorry!), but whatever ...:-)

Don't worry, Eric! Thank you, good night and sleep well!

Lovely flowers. I have a feeling I've tasted quince jelly but have no recollection of it.

Thank you, Jean!
Once tasted, never forgotten and thereafter always eagerly sought (I exaggerate perhaps, but only a little!).
I used to make quince jelly. I gave some to my mum each year who lined the christmas cake with it.
In Spain it is cooked down even further into membrillo paste (a very thick quince jam), almost always eaten with manchego cheese (a match made in heaven). Membrillo = quince and was the origin of our word marmalade (we never could get our tongues around Spanish pronunciation!) which was originally made with quince not Seville oranges (which in fact come from Valencia!)
Information overload and time for bed!

I'm afraid I have zero knowledge of Quince, it looks to be an interesting tree/shrub Andy. Thank you for posting in Project 21.

You are in for a treat should you ever decide to buy some quince jelly, Maurice. It goes very nicely with hot buttered crumpets!

The fruits of my "wild quince fellas" are 1/3 the size of what we call apple- and pear-quince (referring to the shapes of cultivated quince), but!! but the aroma is really very, very well.
They are good to mix with the cultivated when cooking jam - the big ones bring the mass, the smaller wild ones the fine taste.
Beautiful picture.
I took some photos of peach- and apricot flowers today ...

Thank you, Leon!
I mixed my cultivated quince with my chaenomeles Japonica for jelly and jam too! For the same reason, the only difference was that I didn't find or use wild quince.
I will take photos of each tree as the fruit ripens to see what difference, if any, there will be!
I look forward to seeing your fruit tree shots!

Beautiful spring capture! Stay well!

Absolutely GORGEOUS!! The glowing warmth of the blossoms is spectacular. SO PRETTY. I hope they had an equally lovely scent! :)

Many thanks, Janet!

I had a thought for you this morning, here flowers are gone and we can already see small fruit. I will try not to forget to take a pic tomorrow for you.

Ours not even have any leaves! ;-)

Thank you, isabel. I think I will wait until the fruit is optimum size before I take more shots!

Amazing picture here, Andy. It does look virtually the same as the one you produced before. The blossom is gorgeous and the flowers are so delicate to look at too.

Different tree, different variety and very much larger blossom and leaves in this one, Jenny!

schöne Farben. Hoffentlich bekommst du gute Früchte

Eclatante floraison !
Joyeuses Pâques Andy.

Nora,
Stefani,
Thank you both!

A fine capture.

Many thanks, John!

This doesn't look like quince to me. Usually the flowers appear before the leaves. I suppose it could be a Spanish variety. It looks more like Pacific dogwood. Nice though.

Interesting comment. I also had my doubts when I had responses to an early upload; similar leaves and blossom but both much smaller than this. I had never seen quince blossom like these in the UK and I had quince and Japonica (chaenomeles) trees/bushes there. However it appears I was wrong and that both are indeed quince (cydonia). I will await fruit growth to check finally and post evidence one way or another.
The words 'baited', 'with' and 'breath' come to my mind!
Many thanks, Amelia. I hope you are keeping well.

Yes - it's a type of quince and the Latin name is Cydonia oblonga. I looked that up for a positive ID.
