Bearded Iris rhizomes $10.00 each
Now is the time to plant Bearded Iris rhizomes. They will need to be watered in this weather for a week or two but they are tough and will put roots down and consolidate themselves for next years flower show.
The Tall bearded irises pictured are:
Edith Wolford ( yellow and mauve one)
Precision ( ruffled purple/red)
Lady Friend ( Dark red/pink)
Sky and Sun ( blue with yellow beard)
Minnesota Mixed up Kid ( plum streaked one)
They come with instructions if you would like them. They will be trimmed and labelled and ready to go.
Bearded irises once established are drought resistant, couldn't care less about frosts, and love sunbathing their rhizomes on top of the soil.
Talk flower spikes emerge in Spring with fist sized bright coloured blooms on each stem coming out in succession.
Thanks for looking.
They are all $10 for each rhizome.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
