Fiori rosa fiori di pesco (Pink Flowers, Peach Flowers) is a 1970 song by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti, with music by Battisti and lyrics by Mogol. It was released as a single on 8 June 1970 from the album Emozioni, with the B-side "Il tempo di morire." The track, arranged by Detto Mariano, has a pop-blues feel. It came after Battisti's 1969 hit "Mi ritorni in mente" and before the 1970 single "Emozioni." The song was written around the same time as Mina's "Insieme," and Battisti initially considered offering it to Mina. It became a major hit, winning Festivalbar, giving Battisti his second consecutive Festivalbar victory after "Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara" (1969). It has been covered by Mina, Marcella Bella, Formula 3, and Cristiano De André.
