Slidell man's passion for iris flowers blossoms into garden on Bayou Liberty Road: Military Road

Bayou Liberty Road. He and Kathleen purchased the property in 2004 after moving to Oak Harbor in Slidell. He needed the lot to have enough space to accommodate his growing collection. To date, the iris garden located behind an inconspicuous fence has more than 5,000 plants encompassing 150 different varieties. Walking through the property, the eye skips from bloom to colorful bloom of every imaginable hue. You can understand then how the work iris comes from the Greek for rainbow. Trahan's garden includes Iris fulva, or the Copper Iris, sporting their brick red flowers and examples of Iris nelsonii, the Abbeville Iris, a rare plant known to live in the wild only in a small area about six miles south of Abbeville, Louisiana. He is especially excited that a few of this specific type have sported a rare yellow bloom. "At one time, this particular plant was thought to be extinct. It is now just considered very rare," Trahan said. Each plant is tagged with a hand-made metal marker featuring the plant's official name. Benny is at the Bayou Liberty garden each day. Kathleen visits to help with the weeding and to bring lunch that they share at an umbrella shaded table among the flowers. Since iris thrive in marsh and swamp environs, Trahan has created artificial swamps using plastic tarps, pots and an extensive watering system he installed by hand. Frogs sing from between the plants when you walk by the constructed paddies. "These plants need a lot of water. We have some planted in the ground, but they really do well in these water paddies," he said. The garden has been a family project many times since its creation. Hurricane Katrina took out more than a dozen pine trees on the property and caused iris plants in pots to float down the road and into the neighbor's yards. One saving grace from that time is the brackish water did little to actually harm the plants themselves. After an extensive illness, Trahan said the weeds in the garden were higher than the plants themselves. It was then that their children and their spouses and their grandchildren pitched in to make things right. "We had all 20 of them out here for three Sundays in a row, weeding and cleaning it up," Kathleen said. "They know what it means to him and we ma... (The Times-Picayune)

Wistinghausen Florist & Greenhouse in Oak Harbor also sells garden decorations.(Photo: Molly Corfman/News-Messenger) OAK HARBOR – For 100 years, Wistinghausen Florist has provided cut flowers, vegetable starters, and personalized arrangements to northwestern Ohio. Four generations of the family have tended to the 20,000-square-foot greenhouse that operates year-round. Although the business is a bit off the beaten path, current owners Robert and Kim Wistinghausen have made their labor of love famous throughout Ohio. “The community’s always supported us,” Robert Wistinghausen said. “They’ve been really great about spreading the word when they’re taking flowers from us across the state when they’re visiting relatives or someone.” Kim Wistinghausen said she and her husband wanted to have a celebration to honor the centennial, but with spring bringing in constant business, they haven’t had time to plan an event. They’re not complaining, however; when Mother’s Day kicked off the busiest time of year, they stayed focused on re... (Port Clinton News Herald)

Flower sales to help non-profit organization

Ottawa County organization that helps reconnect families. Barnes Nursery, in Huron, and Wistinghausen Florist & Greenhouse, in Oak Harbor, will accept special coupons that will take 20 percent off a single purchase. Those businesses will donate to Joyful Connections based on the number of sales brought in through the coupons. Joyful Connections, of Oak Harbor, works with the courts to provide supervised visitation between family members, usually with parents and children. "When children are removed from a home for whatever reason the courts will usually allow some sort of visitation" Joyful Connections executive director Sheila Powell said. "We provide a safe locations where the child and parents can stay connected." Powell said the most common reasons for family separations includes mental health, drug or domestic issues. "We have the ability to keep the child safe rather than the parent visiting the child at another family member's home," Powell said. "Sometimes with the visitations parents have been absent from the child's life for a while. In order to reunify the child with the parent, we need to take it slow. The child might not know that person." Powell said they are a popular lo... (Sandusky Register)
