| Presumably the daughter's location is nearby. Last one barberry, will be instantly identifiable when poked by a thorn. 04 looks like Lonicera from here. 03 might be lilac, hard to tell with that pic. 02 might be a quince, but 02 and 01 are distantly familiar and not popping for me off the top of my head, apologies.

| 1 & 2 are Chaenomeles aka flowering quince. 3 looks like Syringa vulgaris aka lilac 4. looks like Lonicera tartarica and 5 is a Berberis aka barberry - many named cultivars. |

| The quince confused me - does it grow that far north? Dan |
|
| This is Chaenomeles japonica and is supposedly hardy zones 5 - 9 |

| dan staley,flora UK; thank you for your dedication and effort.I appreciate that greatly. Regards, Hala. |

| C. japonica is not the only flowering quince grown, in fact here it is not as prevalent in the landscape as other kinds. |
