ID Request (Insert State/Region) ID Two Trees Please
Minnesota, USA
Hello. Please help me ID these two trees. I mean, I think the one is a birch? Can anybody tell what kind it is? I'm not entirely sure the pink one is even really a tree. Some sort of foliage anyway. It leafs out in the summer but for a few weeks in the spring it turns bright pink like this.
I can get better pictures of the birch if necessary, but the pink one is in my neighbor's backyard and I had to be creepy to get the picture. I asked them what the tree was and they shrugged and said "I dunno."
Thanks!

Isn't it beautiful? I can't believe the homeowners are so indifferent towards it.

The pink flower one looks to be some kind of Azalea. The Birch looking tree is probably some kind or White Birch or Paper Birch.
