    This bush has almost sage like foliage and orange flowers. It is flowering now, September, in Calgary, Alberta.

    Have you ever seen it produce fruit? It reminds me of
    Chaenomeles speciosa Flowering Quince.

    Toni, I agree. The flowers do look a little quince-like, but I can't really make out the foliage. Most flowering Quince bloom in the spring, after forsythia.

    CM, I thought they bloomed in late winter too but with the strange weather all over the place lately maybe it has rescheduled itself ??

    Toni, as I typed my previous post, I was having the same thought. In much of the NE, we have had pretty severe drought. I was wondering what kind of weather Albeta has been having.

    I have some perennials that barely bloomed this summer. You could see them hunkering down to (hopefully) wait out the drought. With the cooler weather now & a bit of rain, some are blooming uncharacteristically late.
