Quince Blossoms
Sitting
Patience found a perfect fork to sit in, half way up the new Quince sapling.
Pink Bud
Further up, the buds are swelling in a lovely swirl of petals…

Opening
…and some are opening up!

Lovely
I think there could be fruit this year, but we’ll have to nip them in the bud, so the tree can spend its energy on making strong roots!

Oh Dear. Perhaps Patience could spare one bud and nip the rest. Her new quince tree looks like it is very happy growing in Quimperland.
We were thinking of doing that, but will consult our tame arborist!
Patience will live up to her name by nipping the buds to grow the roots and wait for another year to taste the fruit. But, the pleasure of the blossoms will go a long way in making it all worth it. đŸ™‚
We are very encouraged by these beautiful blossoms, but will take the advice of our tree expert!
Thanks for letting us glimpse one of the opening blossoms before the nipping took place.
You are welcome! We think it is very exciting!
Patience’s bonnet is sooo cute!
Thank you very much! She loves it to bits!
Patience looks like a blossom in that little tree. Lovely photos. Her outfit is perfect for Quince Blossom observation.
Oh, what a sweet comment! Patience is not usually a tree-climber but she had to get up to the blossom level!
