What the Deer in an Apricot Orchard Shows
The deer's head and neck form the center of the scene, with its large antlers rising through flowering branches. Flowing fur markings cover the animal, while leaves, blossoms, a heart, and decorated eggs are woven around it. Geometric patterns distinguish the Easter eggs from the natural forms of the ears, antlers, flowers, and foliage.
Interesting Facts About Deer and Apricot Orchards
Male deer grow antlers from living bone and normally shed them before growing a new set. During growth, antlers are covered by a soft, blood-rich layer called velvet. Apricot trees bloom in spring, and their flowers can open before the branches carry a full covering of leaves, making the blossoms especially prominent.
