Common Flowering Quince Chaenomeles Speciosa

With the Chinese New Year (February 18) and the Spring Festival, the trees and shrubs are beginning to blossom in Chengdu. The temperature now reaches the low 60s F most days. Among the first to blossom are the "Winter Red Flower," the plum trees and the common flowering quince. Today, I went to Tazishan Park to see the lantern display and found a grove of beautiful Common Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles Speciosa) with a label to confirm their identify. I hope my family and friends in Pennsylvania who are clearing snow can enjoy a touch of Chengdu's spring.
