Flooded Louisiana

Published Saturday, September 13, 2008 by Bulb Hunter | E-mail this post

I decided to stay in San Antonio for the weekend instead of driving to Houston like I had planned. Much of my schedule has been thrown off by a midnight drive to Mobile, AL from Houston at the end of last week. I took some great pictures though! I will share them soon.

Before I left the farm, I grabbed a few fruits from our bois d'arc (pronounced Bo-Dark) tree. The fruit can also be called a horse apple, Osage orange, or as a bois d'arc apple. Some say the fruit might be a clue to helping with diseases like Alzheimer's. See the article here.

Northern Louisiana was extremely flooded as I drove through. Remember to always be careful where you decide to buy property.

Spider lilies were beginning to bloom, but they were very far from being in full swing.

Have all day to upload some of the cajun music I recorded while driving through Lafayette and to upload some more pictures from the week. My ladies who were packaging my bulbs in Houston have evacuated the city, so our bulb shipments probably will not happen this week.
