Japanese ume tree - also called Chinese plum, Japanese apricot - prunus mume. Blooms in March - the first tree to flower. So beautiful. And the fruit has uses in plum sauce, pickled plums, etc.

Love the pink dogwood. We have 3 blooming on our street right now and they are so pretty!
We have a crepe myrtle in our yard and it also looks beautiful when it blooms, but boy is it messy when it drops its flowers in late summer! |

If you're talking about the ones that are gorgeous this week, they're kanzan cherries. The Tidal Basin cherry trees are Yoshinos. |

The smell is wonderful. I grew up on a farm and we had several of these in our yard. The thorns weren't much fun. |
