Crab Apple Blossom?

This flower is on a bush, not a tree. I cannot figure out what it is. Some of the flowers are at the bottom of the bush. This image shows some old fruit from last year. I am puzzled by the intensity of the blossom's colour, because our northern fruit trees have paler flowers.

Anybody know??

Udate I was told it is a persimmon.

I have also been posting images from the past each day.
