NATURE v. NUTURE

While searching for blip candidates today, I came across this beautiful iris growing by the sidewalk in downtown Traverse City. It's a totally public place, not part of someone's yard or landscaping for a building. I'm sure this flower has not had any tender loving care - no daily watering or plant food, yet it has developed into a perfectly gorgeous blossom. It's my blip for today simply because its beauty deserves a little recognition.
