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.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
