After our parents, Olga Casadaban Clifton and Walter H. Clifton, jr. passed, the estate went to Paul and Mimi Clifton. We then sold the estate. I had grown to 10 city blocks of property in Abita Springs, Louisiana. It went from Magnolia streets and Pine streets to Gum street. From Main street to the Abita River. This property was small when Olga and Walter were first married. It grew in size over the decades. We developed the house to be bigger and the property to be larger in scale. The out buildings were larger. The decks were installed and amounted to a few thousand square feet. The property and water features and the river were all connected by beautiful nature trails which circumvented the acreage. We planted hundreds of trees after hurricane Katrina took out 368 pine trees. We st in motion a beautiful arboretum. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;">As of December 2023, the Town of Abita Springs has approved the money acquired from 2 grants, to purchase the property and to attach it to the city Parks & Recreation District. This will allow the entire estate to be held as part of land attached to a conservancy that Olga Casadaban Clifton set up before she passed away. This estate will now be used to carry on continuing education for the citizens and the public who are interested in nature and birding and flowers and landscaping and conservation.</span></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Southern Louisiana Horticulturisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04754581775047087394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433569279033304150.post-67229071663764514322023-12-10T03:47:00.000-08:002023-12-10T03:47:34.733-08:00Snow march 13, 1992 Abita Springs, Louisiana<iframe style="background-image:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jiGxw1svF9A/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="360" src="https://youtube.com/embed/jiGxw1svF9A?si=kQ1AGUumPTQe-yuz" frameborder="0"></iframe>Southern Louisiana Horticulturisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04754581775047087394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433569279033304150.post-30852227061770374532023-09-26T05:22:00.003-07:002023-09-26T05:22:53.326-07:00Agave in bloom-Santa Roasa Island-Pensacola beach-September 2023<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-5mf60s-lmBER-q5gVQiuO8G6AmdOph5QjBmeETm5f28flpJjzqkdUOPWI1ZXrhFUF-5VgBEtJ43Y0qdSSn1RdF57F_oqNbf6H0sdCt6QGg_KOaL-jfxtkqO5Cu7ISr_0yRzlOBqC2yJUGM_XgQhAcpkKt5qLkgwqL7yDOcUl_Z-pWUzIrsOhDLfdE6c/s4000/20230910_072648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2252" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-5mf60s-lmBER-q5gVQiuO8G6AmdOph5QjBmeETm5f28flpJjzqkdUOPWI1ZXrhFUF-5VgBEtJ43Y0qdSSn1RdF57F_oqNbf6H0sdCt6QGg_KOaL-jfxtkqO5Cu7ISr_0yRzlOBqC2yJUGM_XgQhAcpkKt5qLkgwqL7yDOcUl_Z-pWUzIrsOhDLfdE6c/w360-h640/20230910_072648.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSMiGwwpujhElE8QecKhwOmsNlOWhZsvmIrGtGfkEr04wUdHnKVxju5zzUUeZ1U04bjRLZ0ZdlTpB-lwkeWCVnA5IVYTNtm5WEdKMdXL2tZHJ4aDsoMxYvgrxi94AhQHBtzxK2BLRMAVkGVTCN7hsayklLg2Fh_yXhetZXqCkvgsrDF7i-3qd7NyBYe4/s4000/20230910_072652.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2252" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWSMiGwwpujhElE8QecKhwOmsNlOWhZsvmIrGtGfkEr04wUdHnKVxju5zzUUeZ1U04bjRLZ0ZdlTpB-lwkeWCVnA5IVYTNtm5WEdKMdXL2tZHJ4aDsoMxYvgrxi94AhQHBtzxK2BLRMAVkGVTCN7hsayklLg2Fh_yXhetZXqCkvgsrDF7i-3qd7NyBYe4/w360-h640/20230910_072652.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5KiVfhJ93uOUv4HQheMylChBFja1vRQsLjztZ5Gq3yqLh3VYOb2nzj2wASc8rdvXLb_aGURpWuS6hYrcj_gOc6A3vwZgJhzswJySEXb-GSEWTH0BHlavMWGb9B98OpY1ria9k-QAE6ow42-hjW7kxPuB0iNcJthM8ttb70gpUYaYlPVcWUAimx5lhKg/s4000/20230910_072659.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2252" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5KiVfhJ93uOUv4HQheMylChBFja1vRQsLjztZ5Gq3yqLh3VYOb2nzj2wASc8rdvXLb_aGURpWuS6hYrcj_gOc6A3vwZgJhzswJySEXb-GSEWTH0BHlavMWGb9B98OpY1ria9k-QAE6ow42-hjW7kxPuB0iNcJthM8ttb70gpUYaYlPVcWUAimx5lhKg/w225-h400/20230910_072659.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /> This was a beautiful Agave specimen in bloom spike. I was on an observational e-bike ride early in the morning and this is one of the personal homes I came upon. This early stage Agave flower spike was about 9 feet tall. <p></p><p> </p><p>Plants with this type of bloom will create a long live bloom. Usually the blooms will be heavy with nectar. Many indiginious and migrating birds enjoy. MOths and butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy the sweet nectar from Agave. <br /></p><p>Xerophtic plant. I am leaning to these more and more for use in landscape. They offer a wide variety of foliage colors and powerful blooms.<br /></p><div style="font-size: 14px !important;"><div aria-controls="_48sSZebgD8SdkPIPsLqhwAM_58" aria-expanded="true" class="dnXCYb" data-hveid="CCsQAQ" role="button" style="font-size: 14px !important;" tabindex="0"><div class="JlqpRe" style="font-size: 14px !important;"><span class="JCzEY ZwRhJd" style="font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 18px !important;"><span class="CSkcDe" style="font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important;">What is the meaning of Xerophytic?</span></span></div><div class="aj35ze" style="font-size: 14px !important; transform: rotateZ(-180deg);"></div><div class="L3Ezfd" data-ved="2ahUKEwim3tH8oMiBAxXEDkQIHTBdCDgQuk56BAgrEAI" style="font-size: 14px !important; visibility: hidden;"></div></div></div><div id="48sSZebgD8SdkPIPsLqhwAM__40"><div class="wDYxhc" data-md="61" style="clear: none;"><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CCgQAA" role="heading"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn c3biWd UiGGAb" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">: <b>a plant adapted for life and growth with a limited water supply</b>. xerophytic. ˌzir-ə-ˈfi-tik.</span></span></div><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CCgQAA" role="heading"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn c3biWd UiGGAb" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"> </span></span></div><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CCgQAA" role="heading"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn c3biWd UiGGAb" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">I will do more about xerophytes soon.</span></span></div><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CCgQAA" role="heading"><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn c3biWd UiGGAb" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"> </span></span></div><div aria-level="3" class="LGOjhe" data-attrid="wa:/description" data-hveid="CCgQAA" role="heading"><span style="font-size: 14px !important; line-height: 22.1167px !important;">A
