I wanted to put it into brain teasers, but forum didn't allow me to use images there - they were converted to links.

I didn't know any such song, but found Bobby Vinton on a search engine
 
I never was a big Bobby Vinton fan. Too sappy.:rolleyes:
 
I am not Vinton's fan either - but I had the photo of a violet which I have already posted, then yesterday browsing my pictures looking for smoething else I have found this little sweet girl (seen her once - and talked to her father twice), and finally at the morning I looked through window to see that my roses are opening... and it just clicked :smile:
