Apricot

So tender, so soft, so sweetly scented - these apricots are so dreamy! Speaking of dreams, was not it the Elven Queen, Titania, who wanted to arouse the love of the weaver Nick Bottom in William Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" with the help of apricots? She probably knew about the aphrodisiac effects of the seductive rose plant. In China the apricot is synonymous with feminine beauty and the Persians baptized her “the seed of the sun.” No wonder this soft, delicate fruit could conquer the hearts of so many fruit lovers.
