Largest pear bloom known? Most unusual bloom?

General Fruit Growing

There are lots of threads about large pears, round pears, pyriform pears, etc, but I am looking into pears with the largest known blossoms. Before this goes too deep, there are wild species in China that may win this award. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to them.

Then the question is which pears have the most unusual blooms. I have Cabot Vermont https://www.selectedplants.com/miscan/cabot.jpg

Does anyone know of an unusual or very out of the ordinary pear blossom?

Beautiful. I added this pear since it was developed in Vermont but also very excited about the double flowers. Are you please with your Cabot Vermont?

My tree is only 6 feet tall. I cut about a dozen sticks of scionwood from it a couple of days ago. It had an abundance of small spur branches that were the right size for grafting. I probably won’t see blooms on it for another 2 or 3 years.
