This potted plant has thick fleshy leaves, but no thorns. It produces beautiful large star shaped speckled flowers which hand on a drooping stalk.
This potted plant has been growing in a fairly shaded position so I would put it in strong direct sunlight especially at this time of the year.

They flower at this time of the year when not a lot of other plants are in flower.
There are several bulbs in this pot and it should enjoy stretching its legs once its planted in the ground. It will die right down over winter and have a rest before coming away in the Summer.

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.
We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!
This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.

Older model but still runs well. Selling on behalf of father. He assures me it covers 9-18 holes on a charge as the battery was bought new and has been little used. Clubs are Z model and PowerBilt. Comes with umbrella and rain covers and assorted bits in the spring-loaded box seat.
Motor is in excellent condition but the body leaves a bit to be desired! Starts and runs well, slight clicking sound when pulling backwards but otherwise cuts well. Serviced by Stihl in Sept '24 - new blades, plug and throttle cable. Only selling as two households are coming together.
With self-cleaning brushroll. Purchased in Masterton Sept '24. As new condition with booklet & 24 month warranty. Only selling as we are bringing two households together. Paid $549 and hardly used.
