Flowering Quince Redeemed!

Earlier this year I told Tom that we should probably go ahead and remove the "flowering quince" bushes because they really weren't worth the space they were taking. Well, I think they got the message and the rain they needed to make me change my mind!

Yesterday morning after going to the Natural Gardener to get some revitalizing compost for the garden plot, Tom came in and told me I needed to go out and take some pictures of the flowering quince. Was I ever in for a surprise! I had a hayday! The bees were buzzing, so I had a difficult time capturing them in action, but the blossoms were just gorgeous while I snapped away to my heart's content...
