Not only do fruiting quince have the most soft and delicate individual blossums, there are thousands of them on each bush. Wikipedia says some historians and ancient texts suggest that Eve's fruit of temptation in the garden of Eden might have been a quince. No wonder.
Wow, is that ever beautiful! Great photograph. Donald Kinney @ 05-01-2010

This shot and the Eve connection are a potent combination. Your macro lens has taken you, and us, into a new world. Look forward to many more excursions. Sourdough Mike @ 05-10-2010
