This is a small flowering tree or shrub planted in a landscape in Michigan.
This is a flowering tree that is planted in a friend's yard when she bought the house.
My skylink to the three files I copied to be sure it was a flowering cherry are below. I see that there may also be small root cutting where the tips of the branches have touched the soil and grew roots. These could be cut in Spring and planted in a light sandy loam soil.

@Apple saw this single picture and blew it up to see closer. This is a cherry. A specific cultivar/cross called Snow Fountains. Should be available in most nurseries by name. Plant in spring after danger of frost. My guess where you are that would be around June 1st? Earlier plantings can cause new growth to be frozen back and cause death due to the additional stresses from new transplant. There is no Wikipedia listing for this specific cross so I sent a link from the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Another that follows offer cultural suggestions such as how to prune and how to decide if you want to buy one. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7796391_snow-f...
I will see if I can get another capture this spring...it sure is beautiful when it flowers.
Some type of weeping flowering crab? I'd have to see the fruit and flowers to help you id it.
