Poll: Agapanthus - pretty flower or ugly weed?

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

Agapanthus is one of Kiwi gardeners' most popular flowers, but it could be argued the southern African plant is also our most visible invasive weed.
It's a major threat to native plants, and some councils list it as a pest species. Did you know it was a weed? And do you think it needs eradicating, or is it a welcome addition to your garden?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
