It's la Fête nationale in Québec, whose flower is the fleur de lys. Great timing, as iris have been in bloom for about a week, making a great show this year.
The grass in our small backyard is getting pretty long, but I'm putting off cutting it until the forget-me-nots have gone to seed. Then I'll shake the seed over a bare patch in one of the planter boxes and finally cut the grass.
Would much rather have flowers than grass. So much prettier...
