I found this small purple plant in the garden last year, I potted it,
then all its purple-ish foilage came away so i thought it was dying
but this year i got a pinkish single flower so far. Also the leafs
look greenish this year. It may get darker later i think.

Is this a ... burgundy cherry tree?

Yes, it is. It may well be a seedling cherry, of sorts.

A malus of some sort, I'd think. Could even be almond. I'll take a closer
look at ours tomorrow!

Looks more like a 'prunus' - ornamental plum, not Prunus...

Thanks Rusty, you're a gent! Got it now. :~)

Looks a bit like Prunus cistena Crimson Dwarf. Very pretty.

I am now sure it is Prunus cistena Crimson after checking on the net.

Thank you

The emergent leaves appear to be rather too pale to be those of
'Crimson Dwarf', which has reddish-purple new growth deepening with
maturity. It is probably an un-named form of P. x cistena used for
hedging, but despite that almost all forms are worth having and can
develop into attractive small to medium sized shrubs. We had a hedge
of a very similar form many years ago and in some years it produced
reasonable crops of very passable plums as well. They were in the
same class as any of the culinary varieties, but pleasant enough non-
the-less.

I'd go for a flowering crab apple, I did think of Malus profusion at
first but think it's not that now.
