I found this small purple plant in the garden last year, I potted it,
then all its purple-ish foilage came away so i thought it was dying
but this year i got a pinkish single flower so far. Also the leafs
look greenish this year. It may get darker later i think.

Is this a ... burgundy cherry tree?

thank you in advance.


A malus of some sort, I'd think. Could even be almond. I'll take a closer
look at ours tomorrow!
