This is a flowering Quince bush in my front yard. It's supposed to bloom in the Spring, but because of the unusually mild weather it is now full of buds and blooming. It is only January 7th! I am in Rhode Island and besides the flowering quince I noticed wild violets looking like they are going to make an unscheduled appearance too. We should be frozen solid at this time of year. This is very unusual for January in New England!
