Also featured, quince branches from Trader Joe's. I love getting branches in spring (and fall), because they open slowly and last for weeks. With a little luck, these may still be in bloom for the Easter brunch; we'll see!

Hey, how come your quince are light pink? All our quince are salmon-y pink:

Have salmon infected the flowers of the Pac NW the way they’ve infected the minds of the inhabitants?
Although, you know me, I like the salmon-y color more due to added orange color. I bet you prefer the light pink. So we’re both happy, but I was surprised at your pictures!
There are a lot of varieties, ranging from white to pink to salmon to red. I mostly see pink around here.
I think that is a “yes, salmon have infected the Pac NW quince”
We never see any other color here. Not in quince.
Funny.
I want one, but they are scrubby bushes and I already have one scrubby bush (Japanese Kerria Pleniflora) and that’s all Adrian wants to tolerate, which is right and we don’t really have room anyway but so pretty pretty pretty.
And no, don’t ask why I need to have both forsythia and kerria. They are different yellows despite what the internet shows. And the kerria mostly blooms later than the forsythia, resulting in months and months of yellow.
Which is right down near the bottom of your color list, but we’ve always known you’re the cool and I’m the hot.
