appleblossom
Spring orchard flower
Appleblossom refers to the delicate flower of an apple tree, typically white or pink with five petals, that appears in spring before the fruit develops.
The term also names a pale pinkish-white color resembling these blooms.
As a compound or two words (apple blossom), it appears in decorative contexts describing patterns on china, fabric, or wallpaper featuring these flowers.
The appleblossom fragrance filled the orchard in May.
