who was I supposed to be
this broken human
scraping together to exist
the lost potential
but my poor choices exist

The vigorous, deciduous shrub Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Moerloosei’ (Japanese quince, flowering quince) is ideal for fan training on a fence and the bare twigs are smothered in flowers before the glossy, dark green leaves appear. This is a later flowering cultivar with white flowers flushed with dark pink, from March to May. The flowers are often followed by aromatic, greenish-yellow fruit that can be eaten when cooked.

The spreading deciduous shrub Chaenomeles speciosa ‘Nivalis’ (Japanese quince) has a habit that creates a tangle of growth, with spiny branches. Here it has been trained along a fence and manages to thrive in the shade of other shrubs. The line of white flowers shine out through the stems of other deciduous shrubs.
