A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? flowering quince

any clue what this might be ty for looking

Possibly a Quince bush. Does it have thorns?

yes it does have them i took a cliping of this off my road
it looked so pretty and i thought the hummers might like it

It looks like a red single flowering quince.

red flowering quince bloom

Does this picture of the flower look like the one you have? I don't know if hummers like them or not.

Bettyboop,
Does it make any berries/fruit
or have you had it that long to know???

The reason I am asking is...
*and this is mostly for the Donna maybe...*

~~~>Is there another tree that would look like this
with out producing some kind of end product on
the flower??

I have a bush, looks something very similar,
but mine does not produce anything..
Just flowers....
*no fruits*

So, that's why I'm wonderin' if theres' something similar??

YES!!! Hummers LOVE quince!!!!! I stole some from my mother and I'm hoping it will bloom this year! !

Not sure if it berries are has fruit i just got it a few days ago I am hoping to put rooting powder on it and get it in the ground,and i got me a new plant to go close to it a trumpet vine and a bleeding Heart plant from lowes and yes mine looks like the one u sent link to look at ty all so vm

Weezie- I have one and it doesn't fruit either. I have only seen one dried quince on the bush and that is in 11 years. It blooms beautifully just doesn't fruit.

Okay, you tell me which one you think is Bettyboop's...


or this one...

Weezie- The first picture is a quince( Red Flowering Quince - Chaenomeles speclosa) but the second I can't see the flowers or leaves clearly enough. From what I can tell it is possibly a quince too. Do you have a closer picture of the leaves and flowers?

Okay, the first one is what I didn't know what
the bush was..
*the second one is a flowering crab tree*

I never knew what that first one was....

But that will give Bettyboop what her tree/shrub
will look like in the future..

*There's a few more of both trees/shrubs' in my PB account
if you want to take a peak it it too*

Good then your mystery is solved. It is a flowering quince.

The crab apple threw me for a loop though. It looks similar (as best I can tell) to a Chaenomeles contorta

BTW I am so jealous of your lupines!

I'd be real careful about placement with that trumpet vine. They will climb all over anything that gets in their way--plants, trees, fences, buildings. They are very agressive.

Weezie mine looks like the first one
no fruit are berries it just gets more flowers it seem like
but ty all i think it is what gardencrazy said a Quince bush
spme are pink and some are alighter pink but very pretty bush
ty all

Did you see how big mine is...
It's got to be 8ft wide, and 8ft high...
*but it is as long as we've been in this house,
it was already planted when we moved in,
so that was 13 years ago...*

It is absolutely gorgeous and stunning in the early summer
when it blooms.. after that... it has green leaves,
but a has a tinge of rust/burgandy color in the leaves..
when up close..
