Cherry blossom - buds falling off, only partially blossoming

Hi there,
I have a young cherry blossom tree (prunus pink perfection) which I bought about 18 months ago. It blossomed last year and this year, but both times it only partially blossomed. Lots of the un-blossomed buds fall off just by touching them. There also seem to be lots of buds growing on the trunk and branches - which strikes me as a bit odd, but I don't know. Otherwise it seems healthy – no obvious signs (to me) of any disease etc.
I'm attaching photos of it in "full bloom".
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I might be able to help it along ready for next year? Thanks!
