The Last Days of Winter - Japonica

Spring is certainly showing its face here in Oregon, though it appears other parts of the country are still experiencing winter's blasts. It is true, our frosty mornings have burned our rhododendron blossoms. But on this second to last day of winter (officially), other bushes are blossoming out beautifully, as is this one.

(Chaenomeles) Flowering Quince. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaenomeles
