Orange Tigerlily. Bright orange flowers which come out in January after a lot of the other lilies giving a splash of colour in the garden.
Petals curve backwards showing the stamens in typical Tigerlily fashion.
Tolerant of most conditions and soils though they do like compost and richer soils. Die down in winter and come up again in the Spring. They do multiply but not invasive.
Grow to a metre and half one to two metres high.
Could be left in it's pot till next season or eased into the ground out of its pot.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Every week our team of engineers gather to review the region's water use. The warm weather over the last week has seen a large spike in water use, as well as a drop in our river levels. ☀
The graph below shows that our available water supply is just meeting demand. It's important we all start using less water now so that we have plenty to get us through the summer period.
Thank you in advance for doing your bit so that we can have access to clean water all summer long.
You can find some easy tips on how to start saving water on our website ?

Hi Neighbour,
How well do you know your customers? That might seem like a redundant question but let’s dig a little deeper.
Do you know their age? Their income? The values that resonate with them? Where do they live? Do they have a family? How do they like to spend their spare time?

How well do you know your customers? That might seem like a redundant question but let’s dig a little deeper.
Do you know their age? Their income? The values that resonate with them? Where do they live? Do they have a family? How do they like to spend their spare time?
As you answer these questions (and as many others as you can come up with) you’ll start to build clear customer personas that will help you tailor the experience you provide to fit the needs of your customers.
We’ve got a whole series of bite-sized videos on customer personas and customer experience waiting for you over on our website, so if 2022 is the year you take your business to the next level head on over and get started today!

Deciduous, losing its leaves in winter.
Beautiful white pompom like flowers in the Spring.

Pickup is in Kuripuni.

They are some of the first flowers to show in Spring.
Tolerant of most soils and can withstand a dry situation.
