NATURE IS BESTOWING ITS BEAUTIFUL PEACH FLOWERS ON VALENTINE DAY I reside in Dehradun, the capital city of Uttarakhand in India, which is a valley in the foothills of the Himalayas. Although in this city also, urbanization has taken its toll and more and more trees are being cut to build malls and other multistory buildings. But still as compared to other cities of India it boasts of many of our own traditional trees like Banyan, Peepal, Mango, litchi and peach. As Valentine Day comes in the spring season, the basant season what we call it in India. The peach tree is in full bloom. I feel so blessed to watch the tree from the window of my room. In the spring season nature is spreading its beauty all over. The lovely Peach tree with pink flowers is mesmerizing. Peach fruit has many varieties. It is low in calories and is rich in carotenoid, vitamin C, potassium. It has fibre, in the form of pectin, a soluble fibre which is good at lowering cholesterol.
