As we enter April, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere are gradually warming up, marking the arrival of the spring season with an abundance of blooming flowers. From peach blossoms to cherry blossoms, pear flowers, apricot flowers, and plum flowers, how can we distinguish them all?

桃花

Peach Blossoms

特征：花瓣淡粉色，花葉同期（葉子與花一起開），花梗極短或無梗，直接貼在枝條上。

花期：3-4月，香氣濃郁，象征“春之浪漫”。

Blooming period: March-April, with a strong fragrance, symbolizing "spring romance".

櫻花

Cherry Blossoms

花期：早櫻3-4月，晚櫻4月中下旬，花瓣飄落如雪，唯美至極！

Blooming period: Early cherry blossoms bloom in March-April, late cherry blossoms in mid-late April. The falling petals resemble snow, creating a breathtaking scene!

杏花

Apricot Blossoms

特征：白色或帶紅暈，先花后葉，萼片紫紅且開花后反卷（像小皇冠）。

梨花

Pear Blossoms

特征：花瓣白如雪，花藥紫紅色（李花是黃花藥），成簇開放，花梗明顯。
