Beware Garden Gal on Board!

Over the summer I wrote a blog on Glossy Abelias being used inappropriately as a hedge. There was another one that had caught my eye along the road, and after several passes I finally took a photograph of it.
Well it has happened again! The need to stop and take a photograph of an interesting shrub in a garden. I pass this garden every day and it is not remarkable in any way, but there, in the middle of the trees, was a strange blooming shrub. The bloom is peach/pink and I suspect that the shrub is a young quince. I intend to take the camera with me next trip, so that I can get closer enough to indentify it and take a picture.
There is another similar shrub going south that is displaying a much redder color bloom. As this is on a main road, I will have to park and walk to see it. So far I have not inconvenienced other drivers in my travels, but the year is still young and doubtless I will see many a shrub that I 'just must see up closer'
