Bearded Iris blooming season is here.....Dwarf irises $8
Bearded Iris blooming season is here. I have put pictures of some of the Dwarf bearded irises that I have for sale at $8 for a little clump of at least two, probably more rhizomes. They will be trimmed and ready to plant and should put on good growth through the Summer, ready for flowering next season. They are already conditioned to the Wairarapa climate which is an advantage.
The dwarf Irises grow no taller than about 30 or 40 cms. I do have names for most of them.
They look lovely on a border edge, in a rockery, and do well in pots too.
Easy to grow , they do like a well drained position and at least 5 hours sun a day.
The Tall bearded irises are just coming into flower now and you are welcome to view those.
All the irises pictured here are dwarf to Medium sized irises. I plan to list the Talls later.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
