We were gifted A treasure trove of beautiful wedding flowers from Willow and Vine Florist, Melanie Jordan, owner. The floral arrangements were deconstructed, and dozens of bouquets were created, which were delivered to retirement communities around Baton Rouge. Thank you, Melanie. Your gift brought much joy today. Thank you to Janet and Wally Taylor for hosting the 'Flash Flower Mob' and Kathryn Merritt for the photographs.

With the recent heavy rainfall, type III fairy rings might pop up in lawns. Fairy ring is a common turfgrass disease in Louisiana caused by fungi.

There are three types of fairy rings. Type I causes grass loss or damage, and type II stimulates grass growth. Type III, the most common after heavy rain, does not harm the turf but produces rings of mushrooms or toadstools.

Control of type III fairy ring is usually unnecessary. You can pick off and discard the mushrooms before they fully open or mow them down. Be sure to keep children and pets from ingesting the mushrooms.
