A Year in Pictures – Flowering Tree Branch

I took this picture during my recent tour — the one bit of sightseeing I managed the whole trip. This is a flowering tree off the southwest corner of the Salt Lake City Temple, and I don’t know what kind of tree it is; people on Twitter suggested a weeping cherry, but all the photos I could find of such trees showed straight trunks and branches, rather than the taffy-twisted effect this tree had. Any identification would be much appreciated!

That's just an illusion created by the camera angle. I was standing under the tree to take that photo; the flowers are definitely on the taffy-twisted branches.
It looks like the weeping cherry is in the background and this twisted whatever appears to be a separate tree. Have two cherries in my yard though the one in the picture much better maintained than the two we inherited.
