I adore Quince Trees. They are just so beautiful in so many ways. They have gorgeous, grey velvety foliage that is soft to the touch and very tactile. The flowers are just spectacular too. Quinces are in fact one of the earliest trees to blossom in Spring and their flowers are quite large and a lovely hue of dusky, antique pink.
Ours are currently in fruit and each year I think I really should make some quince jelly. I love it with cheese and crackers 
But each year I never seem to have the time. So I just enjoy the spectacular fruit hanging on the tree and appreciate the beauty that is my quince.
I love Botanical illustrations like this. This one is taken from Wikipedia.
