Apricots are in Bloom

And of course if froze, so that means no fruit. The average in our area is every five years we get an apricot crop.

Still I can enjoy the blossoms, this is one type of apricot (Sun Gold, I think) and here is another, which I don’t know the name.

That is so sad. We had a plum tree and had the same problem. It is still pretty to look at.

The concept of having apricots, even once every five years is a wonderful thing and the blossoms are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

Your trees are gorgeous Linda 🙂 I’ve never seen an apricot tree – does it have a wonderful smell?
I lost my peach trees a few years ago to frost – it’s dissapointing for sure.

Oh, how beautiful. My grandma only got apricots from her tree once and she planted it 17 years ago. I’m always afraid to plant anything here because of our schizophrenic weather.

I LOVE fruit blossoms. And as much as I just adore the month of March here in AZ with orange blossoms, I sure do miss apricot and apple and pear and whatever else we had at higher elevation level. I’m going to DC next week and the cherry blossoms will be on and I’m so EXCITED!! Maybe a bit too excited.

What a shame, but I love your photos. The blossoms are beautiful. I esp love the first photo, and the ruralness of the area. 😉 Thanks for visiting my blog, as always!
