maboke flowering quince; Chaenomeles lagenaria
A species of flowering quince, known as maboke in Japanese. Botanical name Chaenomeles lagenaria (syn. Chaenomeles speciosa).
I planted a maboke flowering quince in the garden.
The maboke flowers bloom in spring.
The name 真木瓜 (まぼけ) combines 真 (ま, 'true') with 木瓜 (ぼけ, 'flowering quince'), distinguishing this species from other quince varieties. The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
