The cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus. It is a fleshy fruit that contains a single stony seed. The cherry fruits of commerce are usually obtained from a limited number of species, including especially cultivars of the wild cherry, Prunus avium. The name 'cherry', often as the compound term 'cherry tree', may also be applied to many other members of the genus Prunus, or to all members of the genus as a collective term. The fruits of many of these are not cherries, and have other common names, including plum, apricot, peach, and others. The name 'cherry' is also frequently used in reference to cherry blossom. BotanyTrue cherry fruits are borne by members of the subgenus Cerasus which is distinguished by having the flowers in small corymbs of several together (not singly, nor in racemes), and by having a smooth fruit with only a weak groove or none along one side. The subgenus is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with two species in America, three in Europe, and the remainder in Asia. The majority of eating cherries are derived from either Prunus avium, the wild cherry (sometimes called the sweet cherry), or from Prunus cerasus, the sour cherry. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am buying a house that has a dated den in it. The flooring is new and is a pretty cherry red linoleum that I love. The den has wall panelling though which dates the room. The furniture for the room will be green in color. I don't want to paint the panelling white. Would a warm lime green work best or warm blue? I want a color that I can use various shades of in the whole house so that it flows. Blue is my favorite color. Asked by sinyorita - Sat Jun 7 11:53:46 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours: I actually think a muted yellow like "hinoki" (# 7686) would coordinate the best with cherry wood & green. You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website: You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
