The tree.
The vibrant variation in color is one reason why I call this tree the “super sakura.”
Pistil porn.
Note the fig-shaped buds.
I had to cheat in order to get a good frontal shot since the trees are so tall and the blossoms face upwards.

The petal shape is pretty unique, and the leaves look similar to an avacado with a matte finish.
Did you smell the petals? Can you describe their odor?
Also, did you get a shot of the trunk? Any distinguishing features that you noted about the bark?

Looks like a plum tree based on the blooms and shape of the buds.
