Re-editing older work of mine.
I kept the original background by Muffet.
Sorry I wasn't around this weekend I had a lovely time with family ... grandchildren are so joyful.
DIE BLÜTEN DER PFIRSICHE
Fast schon unwirklich schön leuchten die Blüten des Pfirsichbaumes (Prunus Persica) in zartem Altrosa, romantischem Magenta, frechem Pink oder dezentem Fuchsia.
Und die Früchte schmecken wunderbar süß, auch wenn sie nicht so groß und schön sind, wie die in Japan.
Während der aus Japan stammende Kirschblütentag sehr bekannt ist, ist der Pfirsichblütentag nur Wenigen ein Begriff.
Doch jedes Jahr am 3. März feiern die Japaner die erste Pfirsichblüte, weil die Blütezeit dort bereits im März, und nicht wie bei uns, Mitte April liegt.
This was a long drive that we obviously have done twice now because we got lost last time. We cut through peoples camps with disregard to get the shot. Nobody was harmed getting the shot, but it was a rough road..
The peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree native to the region of Northwest China between the Tarim Basin and the north slopes of the Kunlun Mountains, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach or a nectarine.
The specific name persica refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia (modern-day Iran), from where it was transplanted to Europe. It belongs to the genus Prunus which includes the cherry, apricot, almond and plum, in the rose family. The peach is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. Prunus persica grows up to 7 m tall and wide. However, when pruned properly, trees are usually 3–4 m tall and wide. The leaves are lanceolate, 7–16 cm long, 2–3 cm broad, pinnately veined. The flowers are produced in early spring before the leaves; they are solitary or paired, 2.5–3 cm diameter, pink, with five petals. 5148

Peaches are in season and I'm having some at breakfast every day. So delicious.

I bought this little peach tree as a bare root. It was hard to imagine that this stick, with no visible signs of life, would become anything other than kindling. However, it has flourished and is now covered in the most beautiful blossom.

Literally, I don't think I've ever felt love before that
She's a peach... scone"

"From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches
we bought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches."

A very pretty climbing, peach coloured rose that I have in the garden. Looking fresh and perky after some rain.

Thank you for leaving kind comments and favs. All are greatly appreciated. HSoS
The peaches in my greenhouse are now ready for picking. The root is grown outside the greenhouse and the branches are trained along vertical and horizontal caines inside. I usually harvest a couple of dozen. They are flavoursome, sweet and juicy. A napkin to hand is essential 😇
