Apple blossoms are fragrant. The majority of apple tree (Malus) blossoms begin as pink buds and bloom as white flowers. A handful of cultivars, however, have flowers that retain some or all of their pink hues past the bud stage.All apple trees perform best when they receive full sun exposure and have well-drained soil with a pH level of 5 to 7.ala. The apple tree cultivar Gala is from New Zealand and produces light-pink flowers that turn into orange and red fruits. A cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious, Gala has rich and flavorful apples that are candidates for juicing.
Bicolor Grape Hyacinth or Muscari. A great variation on the original, this Muscari latifolium will have you astonished! The bottom half of its tight clusters of small round flowers blooms as a deep violet color, while the top half produces somewhat lighter, almost blue blooms. Sporting leaves which are somewhat thicker than the common Muscari, this plant is also great when used in borders or among other bulbs and perennials.
