User's notes

Two trees have been planted: the smaller tree is a sapling and this year, flowered for the first time. All are just finishing flowering. Photo 2 is included to show a more detailed view of the flowers. Posting to get a definitive ID as I've photographed several pollinators and have been asked the ID of the tree on which they were feeding.
