Looks like a popcorn tree ready for some melted butter, but these Pyracantha (a.k.a. "Firethorn")
blossoms precede the bright red berries that birds get drunk on when Fall is in the air. . . .

A pretty mass of blossom.

Interesting - to learn that these flowers are the beginning to producing an intoxicating food for alcoholic birds.
