Pink

West Virginia

This is more red than pink. However, this stage of the apple blossom is known as "first pink." At this point in time, it is susceptible to frost damage. And it can still happen even this late in April.

Submitted for the April Challenge - April Adjectives.

Hoping for no frost for either of our blossoms. Ours won't be at this stage for at least another 3 weeks.

Hopefully no frost, although it's been a long winter. We are going down to 40 tonight and that will break the record held since 1903. Beautiful apple blossom photo. V
