Iris in Flower - potted - SOLD
This is a medium height iris growing about 40 cms tall.
Name: Frothing Slosh
There is a good potfull of healthy rhizomes ready to slip into a spot in your garden. This one has two flower stalks. ( the other pictures are of previous plantings of this Iris) It is a reliable bloomer every year.
Bearded irises like about 5 hours sun a day and a drained position. This one is particularly hardy.
White flowers with a sky blue edge. Large flower for the size of the plant. Bearded iris are frost hardy and love to sunbake as well. Plant them so the rhizomes are clear of soil.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
This is the second pot of two that have come into flower. The first pot has sold.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ 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 ❤️
