I have been spending more time in the garden lately and doing so reminded me that I still don't know what this flowering plant pictured below is.

I would appreciate finding out it's name, if anyone knows what it is.

It looks sort of like a sweet almond a friend of mine had in her yard, but I'm not positive bc I only saw it once quite a long while ago. It certainly is beautiful... Love that soft pink.

Thank you, Caroline! Some Google images make me think that you might be correct. I need to look a little bit more closely at the blossoms to know for sure.

I'm glad you figured that out, Christine! I love knowing the names of plants, and this one is truly beautiful in the spring. Makes me want to plant one!
