Quince is often the first sign of spring at the flower market.

For a large-scale floral arrangement, you can’t go wrong with quince branches. Adding quince to a color-saturated, angular ceramic piece brings out the bright coral of the petals and lines of the branch.
Just one branch can be an artful display when paired with the proper vase. When bringing quince inside, trim the stems at an angle, and cut upwards into the stem to make sure the branch can absorb as much water as possible.
Create a wabi-sabi display with textured vases of different shapes and sizes.

An offbeat, organic-style vase by Sofia Albuquerque is the perfect match for two quince stems.
A frosted bowl from The Golden Rabbit, a garden shop in Düsseldorf, Germany, holds quince blossoms. A bowl of quince blossoms is a quick and easy flower arrangement that will bring spring indoors.
The coral pink is visible through the frosted glass of the bowl.
Playing with the scale of the branches makes a surprising statement. Pairing a tall branch with a smaller vase is an elegant surprise and enables you to appreciate the scale of the branches.
