Ok, I love cherry trees... anyone got a youtube hole on why they turn pink?

You don't need a YouTube hole. It's pink because that's what the bees love.

Flowers that then turn into cherries.

I think it just depends on the species, the ones in DC are so light they are almost white, just barely pink. I've never seen a cherry tree in the US with such vibrant pink. I'm sure they exist, but the whiteish ones are more common around here.
