Dainty blue Climber.....Asarina
This dainty blue climber is not invasive and throughout the Summer produces masses of purple/blue thumb sized flowers. It grows in hanging baskets well too. It needs something to climb up like a verandah post or trellis or along a wire or it can sprawl out of a basket or pedestal pot.
I first saw it many years ago a mass of blue flowers up the post of a verandah and was very taken with it. I have one climbing up a Palm tree.
Strictly speaking it is an annual but I have the same plants coming away again in the Spring for 2 or 3 years in a row. It does seed with little plants but I've never found it a problem. I usually prick them out and grow them on.
Thanks for looking. Pickup is in Kuripuni.
The plant for sale is the one in the square black pot. ( the last photo)
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
