The Peach blossom (Prunus persica), a native of China, is the Delaware (USA) State Flower.

It is a member of the Rosaceae plant family.

The blossom appears before the peach leaves. They bloom as a solitary or paired flower about 2.5 - 3 cm in diameter with five petals.

The colour of the peach flowers can be described as - light pink to carmine, to purplish in colour. 

The ovary on the peach blossom is perigynous, simple (single locule), and surrounded by a hypanthium.

The color of the inner surface of the hypanthium on the flower is indicative of flesh colour.

Peach blossom petals range in size from large and showy to small and curved on margins.

 The blossom is borne singly on short peduncles from lateral buds on 1-yr-old wood.

There are usually 1-2 blossom buds/node.

These blossoms pollinate themselves prior to opening (known as cleistogamy). 

Enjoy the following photographs of flowering peach trees in the Niagara Area of Southern Ontario.

The beautiful pink blossoms can be seen from miles around in the peach orchards in Winona and Vineland.
