Beautiful rainbow--and can you name that fruit?



This afternoon, a storm front moved through Colorado. There was VERY heavy rain and hail. Then as quickly as it started, the storm ended. I went outside to take pictures of our mystery tree (read on below) and found this:




It was the most beautiful and most complete double rainbow I've ever seen. This picture doesn't do it justice. In fact, you can hardly see the second rainbow just below the first. There was even another rainbow to the left. The kiddo thought it was pretty cool too.







So on to our mystery tree. We have a cute little tree in front yard:



Last week the tree started producing tiny little fruit.



Dad arrived this week and said it probably was a peach tree. However, our neighbors had a peach tree in their front yard and it had already produced fruit and the leaves don't look the same. Then he suggested it might be a nectarine. I'm not sure. I think it may be some plum variant. But, it has a little point on the end. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hope the fruit was as good as the rainbow. Did it taste like a plum?
