Calling all gardeners

That didn't take long! But I have a very sweet excuse reason for jumping on lj for a couple of moments.

This is the third year I have had a pear tree outside, and for the first time it is putting out blossoms. Beautiful and sweet! But I don't think there are other pear trees in the area so I need to find a pollinator that's compatible with 'Doyenne Du Comice.' If anyone can point me towards suppliers of pear tree pollen, I would be very greatful.

It has really lifted my heart - just as well as I am not sure about this new novel. If I can pluck up the nerve I might put the beginning here, see what people think of it.

The pear tree I have no doubts about. It's gorgeous.
