Quince blossom. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Quince blossom. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!
A different tree. The leaves and blossoms are three times the size of those of my previous post; a different variety I'm sure. I'll be intrigued to see if the fruit will look any different. These I recognised immediately. The others are just so much smaller than any quince blossom I'd ever seen before! One for Project 21: Flowers.

This doesn't look like quince to me. Usually the flowers appear before the leaves. I suppose it could be a Spanish variety. It looks more like Pacific dogwood. Nice though.

Interesting comment. I also had my doubts when I had responses to an early upload; similar leaves and blossom but both much smaller than this. I had never seen quince blossom like these in the UK and I had quince and Japonica (chaenomeles) trees/bushes there. However it appears I was wrong and that both are indeed quince (cydonia). I will await fruit growth to check finally and post evidence one way or another.
The words 'baited', 'with' and 'breath' come to my mind!
Many thanks, Amelia. I hope you are keeping well.

Yes - it's a type of quince and the Latin name is Cydonia oblonga. I looked that up for a positive ID.
