Does anyone have a use for it for a succulent garden, bank retainer , garden feature etc.The fibrous covering over the trunk is marvellous for tearing off to line hanging baskets with instead of expensive sphagnum moss or basket liner.
Will need two strong people to carry it.

The plants in the ground are just beginning to move after their winter rest , so bare rooted rhizomes are not an option this month, but these potted ones could be slipped gently into a well drained sunny position in your garden and they won't know they've been moved.
The potted plants not in flower are the actual pots you would be buying..
$10.00 per pot.
All the irises are tall ones apart from one dwarf one , the one labelled Making Eyes. It’s the second to last one in the photos.
The pots are labelled and should be in the same order as the photos.
Pickup is in Kuripuni
Thanks for looking.
PS I had to delete some of the pics of potted plants as the size of all the photos was too big.

The seasonal nature of the festival, and the logistic difficulties, means that it cannot be rescheduled.
The show brings up to 10,000 visitors to the district every September, and adds hundreds of thousands of dollars to Wairarapa’s economy.
Nearby sold out shows, including gigs by musician Dave Dobbyn and comedian Ben Hurley, were recently rearranged for later in the year because of the return of restrictions.

Our buns are made fresh daily at Aryzta’s dedicated bun bakery on Auckland’s North Shore.

We have high standards and our bakers do too, which is why there are multiple quality checks in place at the bakery and only the best looking buns make the cut.
We use less than a teaspoon of sugar in each of the buns which gives them the colour and texture that makes them perfect for burgers.
