Dark green thick fleshy leaves on trailing stems. Clusters of little oub and white starrey flowers that make up a ball shaped flower the size of a tennis-ball. Long lasting flowers.
They grow well where they get light but not direct sunlight.
I've found they do better indoors. Easy to maintain and will tolerate dry if you forget to water them.
The first 3 pictures are of the parent plant in flower. The last pic with the young plant on the trellis is the plant for sale. It has a new leaf at the top.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

There is currently outbreaks in the Pakuratahi River (Kaitoke) and Waipoua River in the Wairarapa. People are advised not to swim in both areas and to keep dogs on a lead.

Hunkered down in a 6-metre by 5-metre tin shed near the burnt-out shell of their house, Bianca Hawea, her two teenage sons and her partner, are trying to pull their lives back together.

Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”
