Pink and White Quince Blossom with Buds - Flowering quince is a deciduous shrub of the Rosacea family. This pink and white quince was a gift to my husband who loves quince jelly. I opted for 4 different versions of quince. However, since quince is the only one that produces large enough fruits to make jelly and quince cheese. It is also the first quince to blossom in Spring.

The flower itself is white with accents of pink at its edges. One large open blossom can be seen with tiny closed buds around all its sides with its branch moving across the frame.
