Psychology
Blossoms at the wrong time mirror a self starting something out of step with others. They may be late-blooming talent or a revived wish. They can also show a feeling of being pushed at a pace out of tune with the season.
Folklore and history
Cherry trees stripped of leaves by typhoons sometimes flower in autumn, called mad or returning blooms. Some saw it as an ill sign outside nature's cycle, others as a rare good omen; views differed by place and person.

This site's view
In this site's view, note the colors around the tree. Amid autumn leaves, some things bloom late in life. In snow, part of you still remembers spring in hard times. If the flowers wilted quickly, your heart may be asking you to wait for the right season.
Going deeper: our reading
Some cherry varieties, such as October cherry and winter cherry, naturally bloom from autumn into winter. To someone who knows only spring blossoms they look out of season, but the tree is simply flowering in its own time. In this site's reading, people who have this dream are often in a period of blaming themselves for being "behind" or "too early" compared with others, around a career change, returning to study, marriage or children, when the gap between the usual timetable and their own pace weighs on them. If passers-by stopped and smiled, someone near you accepts your timing. If everyone walked past, you may not yet accept your own pace. This is our speculation, but if you simply thought the blossoms were lovely, your heart has already begun deciding to bloom in its own season.
