Pear Blossom

I noticed these buds on a wild pear tree on 6th April 


and by 18th April they were opening out into this startling white blossom with the distinctive purple stamens.


 The tree is a welcome sight but it only flowers on the side exposed to light


Another way to distinguish pear from apple is that pear leaves are smooth and even shiny, compared to the textured leaves of apple trees.
