Desert peach

Prunus andersonii. A local thornbush that flowers spectacularly late April-early May, with a heavy distinctive fragrance. Altho related to peaches, plums, cherries, etc. (also genus Prunus ), it has a tiny and none-too-edible fruit. Washoe Lake State Park Nevada; houses at the edge of New Washoe City are visible in the background.
