I thought there were two flowers at first, i.e., one is white (1st photo) and the other red (2nd), but I was wrong. They're both Japanese andromeda (Pieris japonica), i.e., red buds and white blooms. Its Japanese name "Asebi (馬酔木)" means "a tree which makes horses drunk." The plant contains a toxin, which makes horses look drunk. Deer in the Nara Koen park in Nara prefecture don't eat this plant, resulting in too many Japanese andromeda trees left in the park.

最初赤い花と白い花が咲いていると思ったら大間違い。赤いのはアセビ（馬酔木）の蕾で白いのは花です。アセビは毒を含んでいて、奈良公園では鹿が全然食べないので馬酔木ばかり残っているそうです。
