Expert Response
Based on your description we think the light pink flowering trees could be American Redbud also called Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis). The dark purple flowering tree we believe to be a Crabapple (Malus spp.) of which there are several varieties. Wehave attached pictures of the Redbud and the Crabapple.
If you would be so kind as to send us pictures of the two trees we could be more specific. A closeup of the flowers and an overall picture of each tree would be very helpful.

Thank you so very much - the photos are exactly the trees I was curious about.
