Re: [nafex] Speaking of quince

I'm trying to find pictures of the flower buds in the winter but here's
an interesting quote:

/The flowers are not from fruit buds formed in the autumn; after a woody
shoot has grown several inches, a flower is produced which terminates
the season's growth of that shoot.//

https://books.google.com/books?id=47gUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA388&lpg=PA388&dq=cydonia+flower+buds&source=bl&ots=q8Vj_w14rA&sig=u76ao6L-lYbf76R8xtK-DJSaLWI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQ7e31rsjRAhWr6YMKHYjKDew4ChDoAQgZMAA#v=onepage&q=cydonia%20flower%20buds&f=false

So that makes it sound like there are no flower buds during the winter -
that they would only form in the spring after growth has begun. So why
am I not getting flowers??
