And it’s now in New Zealand – sightings have been reported in Kerikeri in Northland, Waitara in Taranaki and Te Kuiti in Waikato.
If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

We thank the Marsden Lions club for inviting us to sponsor such an outstanding event, where the local community came together in such an entertaining way. And of course, a massive Thank You also to the Waipu Golf Club.
We look forward to next year’s bash and equally look forward to meeting any new "bashers" eager to give it a go!

Thank you so much for sharing your concerns, story ideas, responses, and kind words to my message. We have had a lot more responses than we expected, so I won't be able to respond to every message right away.
