Last Thursday night we had a frost followed by early sun on Friday morning, most un-expected, and this is probably what happened to your pear.

Thanks Bulbaholic for that info. I have two Japanese Acers in pots which were doing fine, but then all the leaves curled and died. I thought it was the wind, but was probably the frost which I missed!

Hi
From what you have described its sounds like you have had a late frost and it has damaged the blooms and the new growth, have you anything else in the garden that looks slightly wilted on the tips ?
You may get some fruit this year and it will grow back
where roughly are you in the UK as last week certain parts went down to minus 2
