02.20.08 BARE IS BEAUTIFUL


This ornamental shrub in a city garden blooms early, long before any of its leaves appear. Its bare branches are particularly lovely brought inside for forcing.

Hey, that's a flowering quince! I love the color -- so unique and piercing in gray springtime. Nothing else in the world is that color, it seems to me. Quinces are special.
