This potted iris is just coming into flower now. There are lots of rhizomes in the pot so it will be happy to stretch its legs. A nice little clump that will do well.

Thanks for looking

Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
Visit one of Wairarapa's great gardens this Labour Day Monday. Enjoy a wander through Stablehouse's gardens at 39 Morris Road, Te Ore Ore, Masterton. Monday 28th October 10am - 3pm $20 entry.

Bearded Iris are so easy to grow. Their rhizomes sit on top of the soil and their roots go down so they are able to hold the metre high flower stalks with blooms.
They do like a sunny position.
I will dig the bare rooted rhizomes which you can plant now and they will bulk up over the Summer … View moreBearded Iris are so easy to grow. Their rhizomes sit on top of the soil and their roots go down so they are able to hold the metre high flower stalks with blooms.
They do like a sunny position.
I will dig the bare rooted rhizomes which you can plant now and they will bulk up over the Summer with a good chance of flowering next season.
You are welcome to come and view the irises as they are in flower now.
I have pictured 7 only of them. S10 each.
