Irises at the Lily Pond

If I gave you pretty flowers
If I took you out to dinner
If we walked down by the river
La la la la la la la

It's iris time at the Arboretum, and the show is not to be missed. This is a view of the little lily pond, with blue-purple irises in the foreground. Is there anything more lovely than flowers by water? No, I think not.
 
The soundtrack is the song Pretty Flowers (a few of its lyrics appear above), with banjo picking by Steve Martin and vocals by the absolutely marvelous Dolly Parton and Vince Gill.
