Our News Section
In Gisborne, we are very lucky to have the National Arboretum of NZ – Eastwoodhill right on our back doorstep. Some of our members (those who can manage the work) are volunteering one day per month, pulling, digging out Iris foetidissima, commonly known as Stinky Iris. I promise you, when in flower, it is stinky. Sitting on the ground pulling out small plants are Kerry and Joan. Tracey was there, as well as myself (Maggie). The second picture is an example of what the plant looks like and the 3rd image is the lovely flower, until it has red berries that germinate so easily.
Next time, I will take a before and after image. If you are in Gisborne and would like to join us, please just contact me.
