Regarding the sound in this video - I filmed this when I was sick this spring. That cold lasted a ridiculously long time, I had already been sick for weeks and had no idea how much longer it would last so I filmed when the flowers were at their peak, but I sounded pretty terrible. It turned out that was the right move, I had several weeks to go before I finally got over that stupid cold, but I'm still bummed about how I sounded in this video.
