Not sure what these are. Growing wild by the side of the road. /Answer is now below in the comments.


But they're a welcome addition to the local spring flora!
Roadside, Algete, Madrid.
Not actually in any garden but probably a garden escapee!

Cydonia oblonga, rosaceae.
Quince tree
Andy Rodker club has replied to Xata clubI had quince and japonica (related - chaenomeles japonica) trees in my various gardens and the leaves and blossom didn't look like these. I can see a little similarity in the petals but not the leaves.
Let's see what others say!
Interesting!
(And if I pass by in June or July and see green or yellow fruit on the bush then I will defer immediately to your superior wisdom!)
I wish I had my garden plant reference book here in Spain but it is enormous and very heavy and had to stay in Cornwall. With it I would find it in less than 5 minutes!
Mind you, if I did have it here, I would not be able to put it down and would still be absorbed in it at 7 in the morning!
Jenny McIntyre club has replied to Andy Rodker clubLeon_Vienna club has replied to Andy Rodker clubIn my garden grow two of them, too. One was the rootstock or base of a pear tree which died and then gave place to it (in previous times it was usual refining pears onto quince). The second just grows out of a Quince refining - obviousely a noble quince was grafted onto wild quince.
So, now I hope that all these technical terms have been translated correctly by me and DeepL. In our country, quince is one of the last fruit trees to blossom in early to mid-May (just yesterday first apricots and peach blossoms opened - our first fruit trees to bloom).
And I am off to the garden now! Yesterday I planted 110 potatoes in 7 varieties and sowed parsnip and sweet peas. Now I am going to sow some flowers, Calendula, Cartamus tinctoris, Linum and Agrostemma githago. This beds are a sort of fallow in my garden - next year will be vegetables on it again.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Xata clubSo you are right after all!!!! Well done!!!
I still have never seen quince blossom and leaves like these so it's a first for me!!!
Please read Leon's comment and my reply; also Rosa too!! Thank you!
Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Leon_Vienna clubHave a good gardening day. I too will be helping in the garden. Potatoes and onions today.
I will keep an eye on the quince bush (it's low-lying, not tree sized at all which is another reason I doubted it was quince) and hope the Council doesn't remove it. Council budget cuts give me some hope here!!!

A bit closer and 6 weeks later: the fruit tree meadow. Most of it we mow in summer with skythes.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Leon_Vienna clubLeon_Vienna club has replied to Andy Rodker clubThe veggie garden is quite well visible, the "square" between the lanes (google maps shows better than earth) is an old fruit tree garden with some interesting varieties of apples and cherries (a peep on it is here: www.ipernity.com/doc/2251804/50664222). Nothing of that is my own, but the property of a catholic school. They don't need that area for their eductions, so I was allowed to care and use. Together with my wife and two or three friends, we manage to look after it with all the work is necessary since about 14 years. It is a good old place, worth continue the work generations did before and, last not least, our "splendid isolation" - not only since corona is raging around.

Andy Rodker club has replied to J.Garcia clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Andrea Ertl clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Fred Fouarge clubI can also recommend the PlantNet App (which Rosa told me about), it works perfectly. I can also recommend the BirdNet App, which will listen to a bird singing and identify it for you.
