Garden is a corner plot in village in Chilterns. Lived here about 30 years but only had time for the garden since I retired in 2013. Love flowers 🌻🌹

@debsgarden99 it’s been in the garden since I moved in in 1993 🙄 - seems very happy- but creeps along under the ground and pops up all over the place!

Ah great Christine and beautiful blossom 😍What will you do with the fruit? I have one and understand you can only eat them when they have been cooked? Was thinking of perhaps mixing with another fruit to make jam... @grandmagizzy

grandmagizzy

@AlisaJ - Hi I've not done anything with the fruit but an old lady I knew, sadly no longer with us, used to make Quince Jelly rather than jam and it was really nice 😍

Oh lovely. I will have to look up a recipe. Nice to have that link to the lady you knew and the memory of her cooking. Thank you- will take a look 👍🏼

I love this quince.I think it's because it brings back happy memories of my Mothers garden

grandmagizzy

I find certain plants bring happy memories too Patricia @pattygardd . Fuchsias remind me of my grandma as she had them against the wall of her brick and flint cottage. My mums friend known as an Aunty had a beautiful garden and I loved her snowdrops and anemones - I couldn't pronounce it so called them memories!!! 😄💕

Fantastic colour, that's the richest red I've seen on one of these. I think I've only seen pink ones before.
