And it’s now in New Zealand – sightings have been reported in Kerikeri in Northland, Waitara in Taranaki and Te Kuiti in Waikato.
If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

Thank you so much for sharing your concerns, story ideas, responses, and kind words to my message. We have had a lot more responses than we expected, so I won't be able to respond to every message right away. But over the next week, we'll aim to be in touch with those we feel we could do a story or some kind of follow up.
Thanks again,
Annette - Whangarei Leader
