I’m not sure if you ever solved this mystery… I grew up with dogwoods (which were small trees), and that’s not a variety I’ve ever seen. They have little black “point” things at the outer edge of each petal.
The buds remind me of a tulip poplar tree, but I don’t remember what the blossoms look like up close. Maybe some variety of that?
Regardless, it’s gorgeous. Hugs on the wing.

Turned out to be from the Myrtle genus, quite unusual but so lovely…

I don’t know what it is, but the flowers remind me of the myrtle you posted a photo of recently.

Dogwood, for me. One of the original genus.

I thought Dogwood was more of a shrub than a tree, but I am going to get to the bottom of this mystery…

Someone else suggested that too, I wonder if it is? Do we have Dogwood over here in UK?

No idea. I came across them in OZ, and they’re certainly all over the place here in Canada, so no reason why they shouldn’t be there as well. 😀

I think it might be a Myrtle, trying to find a picture of one to compare…

Looks wonderful, but honestly they are all looking so similar. I had found “Tokyo Cherry”, But you can ask one of the specialised photographers: photopaulm.wordpress.com, or tempest2012.wordpress.com. ;-)) Have a nice Sunday! xx Michael
