Flowering Quince – Not native to the PGT

We showcase native plants at the Prairie Garden Trust. The idea is to find the beauty in what nature has to offer.

When we find exotics (plants that don’t occur here naturally) they are often invasive and we are trying to get rid of them. However, not all exotics are bad! Today I noticed the Flowering Quince buds are swelling and about to burst open. Wonderful!
