I'm not much of a gardener either but cherry trees blossom around that time...are small and have beautiful pink flowers....
and so do crabapple trees....
Good Luck with the planning doll...I know it must be hard and hope these help.....

Cherry blossom tree is a wonderful idea Morgan.

I think any kind of a fruit tree would be great, pretty blossoms and also sustain life.

Crepe Myrtle is a beautiful tree and comes in a dwarf variety that only grows 3 to 5 feet... all the way up to the large variety which grows to 20 feet. It´s a flowering tree... that starts blooming in the spring and has flowers all the way through summer and comes in colors from white, pale pink, deep pink, lavender, purple and red. A really beautiful tree.

I'm not much of a gardener, but I will say I like the idea of planting a tree. I've got a plant from my grandmother's funeral 27 years ago. Sorry for the family's loss.

There is a Rose called May.
When my eldest was still born.... I asked for a park bench by the
sea.....some where to sit by myself and remember. Some one also
named a star after him. So each year on his birthday I can sit and
shed a silent tear, thinking although out of sight and mind you hold a
special place in my heart and it gives me comfort to sit in that tranquil
spot alone watching the sea and the sky!
In my minds eye I can almost see him running with his siblings that came after....
This turns the tears to a smile.

The crab-apple and cherry ideas are good. You can get particular versions of each that don't grow too big. I like the Japanese Maple too (Acer) but I am not sure that it produces leaves quite early enough.....they are small though and beautiful
