Chances are it's going to be a Lava instead but here's hoping that it's a Sakura!

It would be a good idea to try the Flower+Tree combo. I think you need a particular type of dragon in order to make it happen. Like many suspect with the now-expired Clover, one of the parents had to be Moss. Frostfire needed one of the parents to be a pure Cold dragon and Bluefire needed a pure Fire parent. And if you want to use more literal logic: Sakura dragon is a tree with blossoms on it. Flower+Tree=Sakura *not 100% set in stone but it would make sense.

One of the tips in the Notes section of the page states "Some members of the DragonVale Wiki Community have reported success with Earth & Flower. As of April 21, 2012, 100 tests were performed with Earth + Flower in the Epic Breeding Island. Not a single Sakura was hatched from this combo. In contrast, 50 tests were performed in the Epic Breeding Island with Tree + Flower, and 11 Sakura were hatched within that sample (a success rate of 22%). If it was possible to hatch a Sakura with Earth + Flower, there is a 0.000000002% chance that no Sakura would have been hatched after 100 attempts." So I think Flower+Tree is your best bet for now.
