Sometimes, it’s just all about the image.
In that spirit, we bring you this gorgeous photograph of a floral arrangement from a special-collections display this week that was part of a memorial to former Librarian of Congress James Billington, who passed away in 2018. It’s so delicate, so lovely and so mesmerizing. Happy Friday.

Worth emphasizing that these are not just any roses – but Billington Roses.
