There is a traditional folk song dating from the mid-19th century, titled "The Yellow Rose of Texas". You could hum this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LArGlfEVYqM as you admired the first bloom from our new landscaping at school.
Lovely shot. Uh oh, almost posted one very similar to this today. Will probably do it tomorrow. Yellow roses are so pretty and ours are all in bloom, too.
