Pretty? Yes, but also invasive.
These are Bradford Pear blooms, a very invasive species in North Carolina. They dominate other varieties of plants and animal habitats.

"They displace native plant and animal species by overtaking landscapes and crowding out all other trees. Often, you’ll even see the space beneath them to be bare and muddy because even grass can’t make its way in. Though nice to look at, this tree doesn’t support our native wildlife."

HOWEVER

...they are pretty ngl.
And they are the first plant to flower... that I've noticed, this spring.
So here they are. Bradford Pear Blooms.
