About the Peach Blossom
Peach blossom blooms as a solitary or paired flower. The Peach blossom is 2.5-3 cm in diameter, with five petals.Peach blossoms are light pink to carmine, to purplish in color. 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 Peach Blossom is indicative of flesh color.
Peach blossom petals can be large and showy, or small and curved on margins. Peach blossom is borne singly on short peduncles (almost sessile) from lateral buds on 1-yr-old wood. There are usually 1-2 Peach blossom buds/node. Peach blossoms exhibit cleistogamy, pollinating themselves prior to opening.
