It is July; time indeed flies. Cold days continue in New Zealand but I saw the above flowers this morning, that makes me feel that spring is slowly but surely approaching. This shrub is called chaenomeles. Some websites say this is also called Chinese quince, Japanese quince etc. (it is apparently native to western China).
早いもので、もう7月です。ニュージーランドでは寒い日が続いています。上の写真は、今朝撮りました。ぼけ、と言います。こういう花を見ると、春も少しづつ近づいているかな、と思います。
