Daughter hits the big Four-Oh tomorrow. She's in Norway and during the school holidays will be up in the mountains, out of reach of floral deliveries. So Mrs L asked me to take a picture on her iPhone to send, of the pink flowering tree and the blue sky. My idea to include the flower of the Chaenomeles japonica.
That's my superpower - I remember the Latin names of garden plants and shrubs. The kryptonite to my superpower is that often I can't remember the common names. In this case I remembered that the fruit is 'quince' in English, and then I went to an online dictionary to find the French translation, which is 'coing'. I also found with the dictionary that there is a prononciation tab, and that you can also select the accent you want the word pronounced in. Try it, it's quite amusing - click on the Listen tab, choose the accent from the dropdown menu.

oh that's fun! I will give it a try. Happy Birthday to your daughter. It was a lovely idea to send her virtual flowers. my quince had salmon colored flowers and I miss it very much since our move. I used to photograph it often. this is a nice reminder.
I'm off to play on your website now, sounds fun! Fav.
