How about Penang Peach? I purchased mine two years ago from a Hawaiian Festival in Northridge, CA.

Penang Peach is a peach scent. I don't know an apricot smell.

Try these, some pro'ly difficult to find.

Apricot Beauty: Soft yellow with yellow/orange center, the back is white with dark pink edges 2.5-3", Unique apricot scent.

Apricot Delight aka Fruit Salad: Orange with red flower with a fruity apricot scent, lovely medium sized flower of pink and apricot colors. One of the most unusual flowers for both its size and color. The Apricot is sometimes referred to as a rainbow, or fruit salad, because it is a striking blend of yellow, red and orange stripes. It tends to start flowering much later in the season. It has a very distinctive smell of apricot and citrus. Australian rainbow bloom with dark red bands on reverse. Colors are red, orange yellow and white. Petals reflex backwards.

Flames of the Sun: Beautiful flower with a nice bouquet early on, but has a short bloom period. Smells like Apricots.

Pink Kiss from Jungle Jack: Huge clusters of delicate pink flowers to 3". Growth habit: medium Pink bloom that gradually fades to white. The center of each bloom is slightly yellow / orange. 3" with strong fragrance - almost heavy of Apricots, Sweet Olive. The parent tree is a prolific bloomer.

thanks "slave..." I went out and smelled my fruit salad but I think because this is its first flowers, the scent was not distinct. I will check next year. bill

I have a small Apricot Delight which didn't bloom this year - maybe next. Smell, particularly the fruity fragrances, are rather subjective I think. Penang Peach smells more like nectarines to me. =^,,^=
