Family: Rosaceae
Genus: Prunus
Subgenus: Prunus
Section: Armeniaca
Species: P. armeniaca

The Apricot (Prunus armeniaca,) is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The native range is somewhat uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation, but most likely in northern and western China and Central Asia, possibly also Korea and Japan.
It is a small tree 8–12 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, 5–9 cm long and 4–8 cm wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely serrated margin. The flowers are 2–4.5 cm diameter, with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, 1.5–2.5 cm diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface is usually pubescent. The single seed is enclosed in a hard stony shell, often called a "stone", smooth except for three ridges running down one side.

Enjoying in this beautifull flowers my frineds ;)!

Hi Igor,

Very lovely colours and detailed textures, somehow seems like a painting on silk, silk also makes colours deep and beautiful.
Real elegant Spring picture.

Hey Igor, lovely composition, I think the foreground is sharp and the DOF creates a nicely toned background.

Hi Igor,
That's a very pretty sight indeed! Lovely colours. And really like how you've focussed on one lot, and filed the b/g with the rest of the flowers. Thanks for the very informative note too.
