almond blossom

Nut tree bloom

Almond blossom is the flower of the almond tree, appearing in late winter or early spring before the leaves emerge.

The delicate pink or white flowers signal the end of winter and have become symbols of hope, renewal, and fragility.

Van Gogh's famous painting depicts branches of almond blossom against a blue sky: The orchard was covered in almond blossom.
