Wonder if you can identify these pink flowers?

Welcome to the forums.
A few clues would really help......

Date of photo?
Where was it taken...local garden, Botanical garden...on holiday abroad?
Size of tree?
What are the leaves like?
What is the bark like?

For example it may be a Prunus...a cherry tree.
But only if your pic was taken in the spring

Unfortunately I just copied this pi from an image on internet so I have no details. Just curious as I really like the flowers all so closely together. Was thinking cherry tree blossoms

Yes, it does look like a cherry. Did you notice the little divots in the tips of the petals? That's a very cherry sort of thing.

Yes it does.
Until you look closely.
Look at the stigma in the centre of the flowers.
In Dombeya it has 4/5 arms forming a cross on the top.see pics
Mystery flowers have just a single stigma which matches with Prunus...cherry trees.

Prunus Kanzan can be completely ruled out as it has deep-pink double flowers. Mystery flowers are single.

Cherries are very hard to id accurately....many factors need to be known...such as number of petals, time of flowering , what are the glands on the leaves like etc etc.
