  • Louisiana Iris Is the Name Used Worldwide for a Unique Group of Louisiana Native Iris Species And, in Particular, Their Hybrids
    Louisiana Iris Louisiana iris is the name used worldwide for a unique group of Louisiana native iris species and, in particular, their hybrids. The plants’ extraordinary beauty and reliability in the garden have made them increasingly popular, but they still deserve more recognition and use here in their home state. 1 Introduction Although a number of iris species are native to Louisiana, only five species are known as “The Louisianans.” They are Iris brevicaulis, Iris fulva, Iris giganticaerulea, Iris hexagona and Iris nelsonii. Iris brevicaulis and I. fulva are native to the Mississippi valley from Louisiana to Ohio, and I. giganticaerulea and I. hexagona are found along the Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Texas. Only in South Louisiana, however, do all five species occur together. You typically see them growing in damp or wet areas at the edge of swamps, in boggy areas or in roadside ditches. These five species are closely related and will interbreed with each other, but with no other species. The crossing, or interbreeding, of these species has resulted in the hybrid Louisiana iris cultivars we grow today. Their large, attractive flowers cover a wide range of colors, including many shades of blue, purple, red, yellow, pink, gold, brown, lavender, burgundy and white. Cultivars with bicolor flowers, bright yellow signal markings or ruffled petals add to their beauty. Culture situations generally do not go as dormant as those in drier conditions, and more of the foliage stays green Louisiana irises can be grown successfully through the summer. throughout Louisiana and in much of the United States.

    The Crosby Arboretum Mississippi State University Extension Service Quarterly News Journal Summer 2010 24.3 A CONVERT TO CONEFLOWERS I’d like to introduce you to a very underutilized plant that will really be coming into its own over the sum- mer months. Purple coneflowers are outstanding native plants that look great in the prairie as well as in formal designs. I personally think the purple cone- flower is one of the best plants you can use in your garden. There are nine species of purple coneflower, or Echinacea, native to North America. The main species found in the trade is the Eastern purple cone- flower. It grows up to 3 feet tall and wide, producing bright purple flowers with dark centers.

    OFFICIAL COLORINGLouisiana BOOK Compliments of SECRETARY OF STATE KYLE ARDOIN SECRETARY OF STATE STATE OF LOUISIANA P.O. BOX 94125 R. KYLE ARDOIN BATON ROUGE, LA 70804-9125 SECRETARY OF STATE 225.922.2880 Dear student, Louisiana is a state like no other. We hold a unique place in the history of the United States and take pride in the many things that help to distinguish our people, the places they live and the things they cherish the most. Known for our cultural diversity, Louisiana’s rich heritage can be linked to our official state symbols. This coloring book includes a sampling ofthose symbols and gives you a chance to use your artistic imagination to complete them. A complete listing of state symbols can be found in our Louisiana Facts booklet or by visiting the Louisiana Legislature’s website. We hope you enjoy learning and exploring Louisiana. Please feel free to contact the Secretary of State’s Office should you need assistance in the future. Sincerely, Kyle Ardoin Secretary of State State Seal In 1902, Gov. William Henry Wright Heard directed the secretary of state to use a state seal of this description: “A Pelican, with its head turned to the left, in nest with three young; the Pelican, following the tradition in act of tearing its breast to feed its young; around the edge of the seal to be inscribed ‘State of Louisiana.’ Over head of the Pelican to be inscribed ‘Confidence.’” That is the seal that represents the State of Louisiana today. State Flag This official flag of Louisiana is now in general use, consisting of a solid blue field with the coat-of-arms of the state, the pelican feeding its young, in white in the center, with a ribbon beneath, also in white, containing in blue the motto of the state, “Union, Justice and Confidence.” It was adopted by an Act of the Legislature in 1912.

The wetter the soil, the more vigorous the growth. Deep watering is best. Grows well in up to 6” of standing water. Tolerates clay soils which retain moisture. Avoid well-drained sandy soils unless copious amounts of organic matter are added. Soils should never dry out during the growing season. Can be grown in pots sunk into the ground in water gardens. Can also be grown in elevated beds as long as adequate moisture levels are maintained. Best planted in late spring (early May to early June). Fall planting (mid-August to mid-September) also works, particularly in areas with mild winters. A year-round mulch of pine needles around each Noteworthy Characteristics Louisiana iris is a catchall term used to describe a large group of rhizomatous beardless interspecific hybrid irises that contain varying percentages of the five species which make up the Louisiana Iris Group: Iris fulva, Iris hexagona, Iris brevicaulis, Iris giganticaerulea and Iris nelsonii.
