Identification of orange flowered bush please
« on: April 09, 2011, 05:04:29 pm »
Now at last the plants in my garden are starting to show leaves and flowers, I can take photos of them and ask for identification.

I am not a gardener and have "inherited" an extensive garden from the people we bought this property from - so am keen to learn all I can.

Your advice would be invaluable.

thanks

Susanna

I think it might be an ornamental quince?  Will wait to hear from an expert though because I have one too.

Oh - yes - just looked at google images for ornamental quince and it is identical.

THanks very much :-)

I see that you can process the fruits in the autumn - but they need plenty of sweetening

Great for quince jelly  :yum: It's years since I made it but I think the method was the same as apple jelly - in fact I think it's good with some apple in.

mine has dangerous thorns and tiny  fruit but they can be added to apple jellies for flavour :&>

The wild bees seem to love it.

I'm going to pay more attention to it this year and prune it nicely in the winter this time.
