$60,000 in wild irises disappeared from Coast highway. Here’s why. - Sun Herald
Tuesday, December 04, 2018Stephenson called the mayor Friday after receiving complaints about the flowers being mowed down. He said he plans to speak to the Bay Saint Louis, Waveland and Hancock County beautification departments to find volunteers to maintain the plants. Bay resident Kathleen Johnson said she was “flabbergasted” to see the flowers gone. She said she has enjoyed looking at them as she drives along the highway. “I’ve been interested in highway beautification since Lady Bird Johnson made it her pet project,” Johnson said of the former First Lady, who made highway beautification her pet project in the 1960s. Former Councilman Lonnie Falgout, in a Facebook post, said the Wild Iris Project planting was completed while he represented Ward 6. His term ended in 2017. “Inexcusable for them to be cut down,” wrote Falgout. A beautification committee led by Katharine Truett Ohman obtained the rhizomes from two groups that grow Louisiana irises, which have conservation benefits. “Conservation landscaping allows potential pollutants from water runoff to be taken up by plants, preventing them from entering the water cycle or running into the Gulf of Mexico,” Stephenson said. The irises were provided in 2015 by the Louisiana Iris Gardens in Tully, New York, and Bois d’Arc Gardens of Schriever, Louisiana. They were planted in 15-foot by 36-foot areas of the highway in medians north and south of Bayou LaCroix. Students from CLIMB CDC in Gulfport and AmeriCorps in Waveland were working in the flower beds on Thursday.

Buy THESE 10 Cut Flowers (They Last the Longest!) - StyleBlueprint
Monday, August 24, 2020Billy balls, Billy buttons, and woolly heads.LisianthusSarah Marshall, owner and lead florist of Gaia Florals in Birmingham, AL, says the long-stemmed Lisianthus is one of her favorites. “Of the flowers that I routinely use, the longest-lasting showstopper is Lisianthus,” she says. “It holds beautifully.” It’s known by many names, including the “Texas bluebell” and the “poor man’s rose,” and it can last between seven and 10 days. Fair warning: It tends to be susceptible to rot if it’s sitting in unclean water, so be sure to change it out daily for the best results.SnapdragonsSarah tells us, “Snapdragons are the long-lasting cool-season winner.” In the right conditions, they can last seven to 10 days. When choosing your snapdragon stem, look for stalks that have one-third to one-half of their pods open.Top row, left to right: Calla Lilies, Snapdragons, Lisianthus; Bottom: CraspediaRELATED: How To Get Any Stain Out: Your Ultimate Stain Removal GuideAmaryllisGreg Campbell, co-owner of Garden District in Memphis, TN, says the Amaryllis is his favorite long-lasting flower choice for the winter. Native to West Africa, the Amaryllis can last more than two weeks. It’s often associated with strength because it’s tall and sturdy, and it can actually last even longer in a vase than when planted.CelosiaA summer bloom, Celosia is another top pick for Sarah. It can run the color spectrum from blood red to goldenrod, and it looks like ocean coral or something that jumped out of a Dr. Seuss story. It’s a member of the Amaranth family and sometimes lasts over two weeks.EryngoMattie Bush, owner of Amelia’s Flower Truck in Nashville, TN, is big on Eryngo. An eye-catching flowering herb, it’s bluish-purple, prickly looking, and resembles a thistle. Also referred to as Flat Sea Holly, Eryngo has an incredibly long vase life, sometimes lasting well over two weeks. We are grateful to all our sponsors:LimoniumLimonium is another one of Mattie’s choices. Also known as Sea Lavender, even though it has no relation to lavender at all, Limonium looks more fragile than it is. Often used for bouquet filler, Limonium can last one to two weeks, and it retains its color when dried out.Magnum MumsMagnum Mums round out Mattie’s top three long-lasting flowers. An oversized chrysanthemum with hundreds of petals, the beautiful bloom is an impressive flower that can last up to two weeks.RanunculusLauren is a fan of using Ranunculus for long-lasting arrangements.
