Sharon from Te Atatu South

Photo 1: Freesias. YES, THESE DO have a lovely scent!!!!!!!! =D Photo 2: Cornflower (I think). Photo 3: Forget-me-not. Photo 4: Poached egg flower (I think). Photo 5: I don't know. Some unnamed blueish/purple-ish flower, but very pretty. Photo 6: Begonia. Photo 7: Bright yellow dianthus (I think). Photo 8: Double Delight Rose. =D MY favourite!!!!!!!! =D Photo 9: Poppy!!!!!!!! =D MY OTHER favourite!!!!!!!! =D Photo 10: My purple dianthus I got from a customer who didn't want it when she was moving house. =D Photo 11: My two polyanthus I got from her at the same time. =D The one on the left has yellow flowers, and the one on the right looks VERY unfortunate but had both red AND purple flowers with yellow centres, maybe it's two plants in one, I dunno. But it's got a little bud in the centre that's going to become a purple flower, so I'll get a photo of that one when it opens. =D In the meantime, ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D Heheheheheh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

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.
