Dancer in the Shadows - a photo on Flickriver

            Could it be that spring is in the air, even though it is still the middle of winter here in Melbourne?

Although it may not feel like it, winter in Melbourne this year has been remarkably mild.  There have been plenty of grey days, but also the occasional warm one with sunny blue skies.  I went for a walk the other week and I noticed, to my delight, a wonderful bank of red japonica in bloom, basking in the light, protected from the winds and warmed by the sun's rays.

Chaenomeles Japonica, known as either the Japanese Quince or Maule's Quince, is a species of flowering quince. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that is commonly cultivated. It is shorter than another commonly cultivated species, growing to only about one metre in height. The fruit is called Kusa-boke in Japanese.
