Now the season of flower of Peach
in Nepal also in Makwanpur palung and Daman. Prunus persica grows to 4–10 m (13–33 ft) tall and 6 in. in diameter. The leaves arelanceolate, 7–16 cm (2.8–6.3 in) long, 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) 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. The fruit has yellow or whitish flesh, a delicate aroma, and a skin that is either velvety (peaches) or smooth (nectarines) in different cultivars. The flesh is very delicate and easily bruised in some cultivars, but is fairly firm in some commercial varieties, especially when green. The single, large seed is red-brown, oval shaped, approximately 1.3–2 cm long, and is surrounded by a wood-like husk. Peaches, along with cherries, plums and apricots, are stone fruits (drupes). There are various heirloom varieties, including the Indian peach, which arrives in the latter part of the summer.[6]
Cultivated peaches are divided into clingstones and freestones, depending on whether the flesh sticks to the stone or not; both can have either white or yellow flesh. Peaches with white flesh typically are very sweet with little acidity, while yellow-fleshed peaches typically have an acidic tang coupled with sweetness, though this also varies greatly. Both colors often have some red on their skin. Low-acid white-fleshed peaches are the most popular kinds in China, Japan, and neighbouring Asian countries, while Europeans and North Americans have historically favoured the acidic, yellow-fleshed cultivars.
Peach is a soft and natural
choice when it comes to selecting flowers by colour and its neutral shade means
that it fits in well with most colour combinations.
The varieties of
flowers that include peach shades vary almost as much as the various shades and
tones do, with gerbera, lilies and carnations all featuring peach colours.
Peach is
traditionally a colour for gratitude and appreciation for good friends and so
it an ideal choice when you are looking for a gift for friend’s birthday or as
a fantastic thank you surprise.
