almond blossoms

Pink tree flowers

Almond blossoms are the delicate pink or white flowers of the almond tree, appearing in late winter or early spring before the leaves emerge.

They signal the end of winter and are culturally significant in many regions—celebrated in festivals and prominent in art, notably Van Gogh's paintings.

The almond blossoms covered the orchard in pale pink.
