I have seen this tree at a park, but don't know what it is - I'd really like to get one! Please can anyone identify it?

    The pink Cornus Kousa is Miss satomi.
    There is a pink Cornus florida "Rubra"  I think your photo shows it with the bracts just starting to open. They then flatten out to form the star shape.

    Not thick!  How can you be expected to know how a flower or bract behaves as it unfurls?

    It's beautiful so I hope you find one.  The RHS website has a plant finder facility which identifies nurseries stocking plants so if your local places don't have it, try that.
