Beltane

Red Quince Flower Essence Mother

Chaenomeles speciosa or red quince to most of us. Quince belongs to the rose family and like its cousin, quince can be a powerful ally in our heart journey. Quince flower essence helps us integrate the masculine initiating into our feminine nurturing by aligning the power of our will with the power of our hearts so we can be loving with firm boundaries and/or lead with strength and an open heart. It assists us to feel secure enough to show our vulnerability without being weak, to be assertive without being domineering. 

I have lived with this quince bush for 8 years and it is always the first to flower in my wild garden. It is about 6 feet wide and 7 feet tall. The reddish pink blossoms shine bright in the sun and even more so on the rainy days.
