Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. I didn't realize how late it was - I have less than 15 minutes left.

And just in time for Chinese new year, my flowering quince is in full bloom. Chinese New year last year was at the end of January, and there was only a few blooms opened. But what a difference two weeks makes - here is the flowering quince in it's full glory. I must have trimmed about 20% of the branches off to keep the plant in check. I love the old-fashioned tall ones.
