In our pear tree — Happy Easter!

I actually got up on a ladder to get this. We bought-and-planted this tree many, many years ago and have enjoyed watching it grow and go through the seasons of the year. There are lots of trees in our area that are identified as "Bradford pear," but I swear the nursery where we bought this had it labeled as a "Cleveland pear." I am trying to find out if these are two names for the same species or cultivar…
