Bearded Iris JADE.....large pot full

Joan from Masterton District

I first saw this tall bearded iris growing in a large clump and I was mesmerized by it.
Shades of white yellow and chartreuse with plum flecks. It flowers at this time of the year.
It is part Aril bred but not enough to be classified as an Aril.

There is heaps of rhizomes in this large pot full. It is crammed.

Bearded iris are easy to grow. They like the sun, and don't mind the frost at all.
Tall flower spikes appear in the flowering season with large flowers arrayed up the stems coming out in succession.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Price: $15

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
