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.
Mallow. Malva_ spp. Looking like a miniature hollyhock, malva produces pretty flower spikes in blue, pink, purple, or white. It also has attractive heart-shape foliage and is useful among shrubs, in wild gardens, and in mixed borders. These short-lived plants self-seed but generally do not become invasive. Staking may be required in windy places. Mallows are not fussy about soil, but they do need full sun to do well.
