I hate to have to tell you but this is staged. The tree is an oak and the flowers look like azalea flowers someone stuck on.

I think you’re right. I misinterpreted what my friend sent me when she said she honored the dying tree with fallen blossoms. I have asked her for clarification and I’ll update here when I get it.

Oh! That makes sense. A nice sentiment for what must have been a beautiful tree.

She confirmed that she collected and placed the blossoms!
