What says Spring more than a the gorgeous bloom of the Flowering Quince
Arriving home this evening I was determined to make the best of the rare warm sunshine and get some spring cleanup done around our home. As I graded our gravel driveway I noticed my wife shooting pictures of the project with her little Panasonic Lumix. When I shut the tractor off to chat with her I noticed that our flowering quince has burst into full bloom today. Of course I could have went to the house to retrieve a DSLR but with her little point & shoot so handy I set it on macro zoom to capture my first blossom of the year.

Hi Coy linked to you in "Nature sites" at earth sky sea http://www.ourearthskysea.com/
Lovely! You can get some very nice macros with a point and shoot. I use mine quite a bit so I can leave my zooom lens on my DSLR.
Is that the same thing as "Cardinal Bush"? It looks like it - if so, I never knew it had another name!
Cool!
Very nice, Coy!
Ashe,
Flowering Quince is the name of the bush. I don't know where the name cardinal bush came from; perhaps it was a regional name that our family used.
