I love all sort of fruit flowers to be honest but my favorite are Cherry's. Always be my favorite and not just for the money. 👀
Apples are cool and different because the petals are less crowded and sort of spread out beautifully and the flowers that are yet to bloom attract attention for their darker contrasting shade
And this is a peaches' bloom.

wow the new buds on the apple tree are the darkest of all, it's interesting that they experience that color transformation over the arc of their blooming, I wonder what biological purpose it serves
@ThirstenHowl that color attracts pollinators more and is caused by pigments that act like sunscreen from harmful sun rays while the inside is still vulnerable ! It does have function.
@Miram that makes sense, and I guess what I'm used to remaining the same hue from budding to full bloom (like camellias) maintains a more pollinator alluring hue throughout the cycle. It's good that the pigment has the anti-UV benefit too.
And now that you mention it, I should've thought of that, like how hummingbird feeders are generally red, and I once got buzzed by hummingbird when I was spraying a water hose while wearing "loud" colors.
