Is there anyone who would like to sell me a canary. I have one lonely boy here in a patio aviary who would like some company.

Its Bearded iris blooming season.
You are welcome to come and view in Kuripuni and place an order if you wish.
Rhizomes are dug in a couple of months.
Now is not the time for digging irises but I do have a few potted ones which could go in the ground no trouble.

Rhizomes are dug in a couple of months.
Now is not the time for digging irises but I do have a few potted ones which could go in the ground no trouble.
$10.00 for potted and bare rooted rhizomes.
You should get blooms mostly in the first season or maybe the season after that, after planting as I will give you good sized rhizomes.
I have limited numbers as I like to keep my clumps to a certain size.
Thanks for looking.
We saw some friendly ghosts and even some costumed pooches this year! We'd love for you to spread the joy further than your backyard by sharing a snap from your Halloween festivities below 🎃
This Peony is in flower now ( 2nd November) One flower is open with another bud coming.
This is a beautiful older peony, having been potted up from a well established garden, so you may not see it in Garden Centres.

This is a beautiful older peony, having been potted up from a well established garden, so you may not see it in Garden Centres.
Peonies are wonderful cut flowers, they like the sun, are very drought tolerant after a year or two and put on a spectacular show this time of the year.
They need a square metre garden space to show all their glory.
Thanks for looking.

"So, while Jeffs will be left watching the Commonwealth Games team from her living room this year, there is little doubt one of New Zealand swimming's most colourful characters will not be forgotten from sporting history."
Never one to shy away from controversy, Jeffs was arguably best known for being sponsored by a strip club at the Barcelona Olympics.
Jeffs won two Commonwealth bronze medals and was 27th at the Olympics.
At a time when many top swimmers stopped competing in their early 20s, Jeffs was notable for her long career in the pool.
In 2003 Jeffs won a legal battle against the New Zealand Olympic Committee, who admitted a selection blunder had cost her a place in the Olympic team.
The year before, at the Manchester Commonwealth Games, she regained her New Zealand title and won bronze in the 50m freestyle.
In 2007, she hinted that she would take up Masters swimming and refused to rule out a comeback. At that time, she was living on a lifestyle block in the Wairarapa.
Despite the prediction that she would not be forgotten, she has been out of the limelight in the years since.

Nearly 1200 people took part in our pool and 76 per cent were in favour of her playing.
Unfortunately, doing the haka with her team-mates was as close as she got to the action.
Aayla, 13, had hoped to take the field for the Te Whanganui-a-Tara U13s at the Pacific Youth Cup in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, on Saturday, but was told the referee would not allow the game to start if she played.
Standing on the sideline during her team’s first match against Samoa Wellington, Aayla said she had been overcome with emotion before the match, but doing the haka had made her feel better.
