DeleteGreat 'photos Spring is always the best season to me as it heralds the end of Winter. The viburnum looks as if it could be V.tinus but don't take my word for it as I didn't recognise the Pieris even though I have two in the garden! Your close-up threw me completely.
ReplyDeleteI thought it could be tinus, Rick. It can be surprising to observe familiar thing closely.
DeleteBeautiful Sue. I particularly like the flowering quince, we had these when I was little and I've always loved them. My father used to make wine from the fruit, and my mother made jelly from the leftover pulp. The camellia is wonderful too, I do love them, they always look so luxurious for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI've never used the fruits, CJ although we have a cydonia quince on the plot the produces beautiful fruit.
DeleteWhat a pretty flowers they are! I guess some of the bloom shall create sweet fruits for you!
ReplyDeleteJust the nectarine Malar - if we are lucky
