Description
in my garden, landlord of a lot of sparrows and bees
Pyracantha is a genus of thorny evergreen large shrubs in the family Rosaceae, with common names firethorn or pyracantha. They are native to an area extending from Southeast Europe east to Southeast Asia, resemble and are related to Cotoneaster, but have serrated leaf margins and numerous thorns (Cotoneaster is thornless)
The plants reach up to 6 m (20 ft) tall. The seven species have white flowers and either red, orange, or yellow berries (more correctly pomes). The flowers are produced during late spring and early summer; the pomes develop from late summer, and mature in late autumn.

Beautiful flowers, love the use of DOF!
Great shot. We have this in our garden too.
They are very pretty little flowers, the fragrance must be wonderful.
Very nice capture.
Beautiful! I had three of these in Arizona for several years; and, back in Illinois, had raised a few as 'bonsai' plants for a number of years.
Lots of folks here grow pyracantha. I don't know what species. The berries are edible, and sometimes quite good (if well watered so they're juicy). I don't tend to notice the flowers, just the fruit. We used to have one in our yard. It is good to see such an excellent picture of the flowers.
