Mein Kleiner Blumenstrauss...Played On Tyros 2! My arrangement of Mein Kleiner Blumenstrauss, (My Little Bouquet). Written by Robert Jung, and (More) My arrangement of Mein Kleiner Blumenstrauss, (My Little Bouquet). Written by Robert Jung, and Willi M. Willmann. I hope that you enjoy my musical arrangement! The photos are of the Los Angeles County Arboretum. Please feel free to comment, and to "RATE" the video...thanks!!! Some history of the Los Angeles County Arboretum: When Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin, (wealthy early California pioneer...considered "Lucky" for his numerous rich mining claims), purchased Rancho Santa Anita in 1875, he acquired not only the natural lakes and cienegas on the property, but water rights in both Big and Little Santa Anita Canyons just north of his homesite. The Baldwin Ranch was situated on a 2,000 acre artesian belt, a benefit of its location atop the Raymond Hill Fault. Sixty percent of Baldwin Ranch irrigation waters came from artesian sources, the remaining 40 percent from canyon waters. Baldwin Lake, which served as a holding reservoir for ranch irrigation projects, was dredged and deepened, perhaps 12-15 feet, by owner Baldwin in the late 1880s, and a retaining wall, capped by granite boulders, was constructed around the lake edge. "Baldwin's Belvedere," today known as the Queen Anne Cottage, was built in 1885 on a peninsula jutting out into the horseshoe-shaped lake; the springs that feed the lake are located in both the north and south inlets. In front of the Cottage still stands a Baldwin era artesian well described in a Pacific Rural Press article of May 9, 1885, as "throwing water six feet above the ground in a large volume," with "cemented, open raceways made for the overflow to pass off in little rivulets all around the house." Julian Fisher, who worked on the ranch as a child with his father, remembered furnishing drinking fountains for ranch visitors by "taking my shovel, digging a hole, sticking a pipe in the ground and setting out a stack of cups for folks to take a drink from free flowing water." Lucky Baldwin supplied residents of the city of Arcadia with a combination of canyon and artesian water of such quality that a Los Angeles Herald reporter commented, "Why, if this God-given fluid were piped to Los Angeles and distributed to the city, the saloons would lose half their customers, and water drinking would become fashionable." (Mar. 30, 1887) Johnny Weissmuller swam in LASCA Lagoon/Baldwin Lake for three decades as Tarzan and later Jungle Jim. A local news story reported that he, in fact, set an unrecorded Olympic swim record when a cage of crocodiles was accidentally opened during filming (Weissmuller beat the crocs to the lake shore). Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour took up a month-long watery Baldwin Lake residence in homes on stilts for the filming of Road to Singapore in 1939, the same year the Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.,/Madeleine Carroll film Safari managed to sink a paddlewheel boat in the same lake. Undaunted, television's original "Fantasy Island" lowered a pontoon plane by helicopter onto Baldwin Lake and propelled it across the water to disembark visitors to Mr. Roark's island paradise. For Alex Haley's "Roots II", Baldwin Lake became Kunta Kinte's river home in Africa.
