First you need to upload the image to a website that hosts them. Then you need to include a link to it or embed it in your post. There are several free sites. I use xs.to which is simple and no frills.
Once you have your picture uploaded, press the "Img" button in the editor then paste in the url where your image is located and then press the "Img" button again.
It looks like you tried to share an image that is stored on your computer. The syntax at the end is correct but the rest is not.
You can also edit your post to remove the failed attempt to link the photo.
I don't recall the flowers on my pineapple quince being greenish though. I believe they were pink and fairly conspicuous. Are you sure they were flowers?
Below is a picture of a quince flower from the web.
When a cluster of leaves emerges from the bud it can look kind of like a greenish flower on quince.
Below is a picture of my pineapple quince this spring. Those are leaves emerging. The pink flowers came later on new growth.
I was pretty surprised to get full bloom on this young whip. I just grafted it to a rootstock in the Spring of 2007.
I have a Russian type tree fruit quince (Crimea I think) from One Green World. It was a bit slow to grow and flower. 3rd or 4th year from purchase. It now is among the most reliably flowering and fruiting trees I have. It had a bit of a rust problem, which didn't kill it but harmed the fruit. I just made fungal-based compost tea which solved the problem.

John, or others, are you guys concerned about what looks like a triple crotch at a pretty vertical angle? You can see included bark at the "V" of the 2 main limbs in the foreground.
Is it going to be fine, or should she take some sort of remedial action?
It looks like it wanted to be a vase shape but got the walls of the vase way too steep. Would you consider cutting off 2/3 of the tree and retaining the branch on the right as the main trunk?
It's a valid point. I can't see how far down it is. The quince is a naturally small tree. If it's below 2 feet, it's a problem. 3 feet or higher, it's fine. Kind of depends on how big the space is. A central leader tree is generally taller and more narrow. I do need to prune mine occasionally, but not heavily.
That's my take.

[quote="jafarj":2mx5h2zf]plumfan, I know that apples stored with moldy apples take on the aroma of mold. I learned that gem making juice last year.[/quote:2mx5h2zf]
Reminds me of a friend who stores his apples in an area with diesel-fuel fumes. Guess what his apples taste exactly like!!
