Peonys ..freshly picked today
From 5pm today there will be another variety added to the bucket. Maestro. This flower is an absolute stunner. When the bud hasn't opened it really is the ugly duckling of the bunch. Small, tightly closed..for those that havnt yet seen the Maestro peony in bloom- it's understandable why you would give it a miss.
But don't be fooled!! Maestro opens to be a deep rich red, a double flower with golden stamen for that extra zing of colour.
A limited supply of these. There will be approx 6 bunches avail later today. Coral charm available as well. $10 for 6 long stems. An honesty box available so please have correct change. Please message me for any inquirys. 020 406 44231

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
