Hi, Colt ... Meridian here! Chesterbperry makes a good point, and I'm trying to get better at taking photos of all parts of a plant. It makes a difference when you're trying to figure out on ID. For instance, I was about to say this looks more like a pear blossom ... fruiting or Bradford. Do you have any other pics?

Another great example of need for descriptions or photos of leaves and stems. Plants are often grouped according to the characteristics of their flowers, so related species will have very similar or identical flowers. It is the rest of the plant that helps determine species.
