Wow, a wee bit of a reality check as the National figures skyrocketed to nearly double. It shows hoe easy it is to flare up if we drop out guards

Canterbury did rise from 310 to 444 but the rest of the country rose by even more, hence our % of the National figure dropped but we did have 134 more… View more

Anthony Wilding Village residents got their groove on at a DJ set from More FM that aired nationwide last week. The residents’ styley dance moves went down a storm in front of DJ Lana Searle, a host of the The Breakfast Club.

The station’s Breakfast Club recently revealed the opening act for ‘Spice Girls royalty’ Melanie C’s sole New Zealand show will be Lana, also known as DJ Dargavillain.

Lana certainly proved a hit with these fun-loving Ryman residents, who loved her style, energy, and multi-coloured tracksuit. They were called upon to be her first live test audience ahead of the exclusive Auckland event, with one resident saying it was the ‘earliest dance party’ he’d ever been to.

Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.

Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.

Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.
