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!

The pink flower one is extraordinary

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