Coming away nicely in its pot with Spring growth.
Peonies are beautiful flowers in the garden, roselike in appearance. Ideally they need a sunny sheltered spot as the blooms are large, and a square metre of garden to spread out in. They die down below ground level in winter and come away in the Spring with new growth. They are reasonably drought tolerant with their thick tuberous roots.
The flowers picked while still in bud are popular florist blooms.
I have pictured some peony flowers but I cant tell you whether this peony will be one of these or something different. Its a potluck in more ways than one.
The potted plant in the terracotta colour plastic pot is the Peony on sale.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.

One of New Zealand’s most important pieces of astronomical history was only a few seasons of cattle grazing away from being lost forever.

Held up by a walnut tree growing up through the middle, the old totara building near Featherston is one of the last of its kind in the world.
Having recently achieved category 1 historic place status on the New Zealand Heritage List, the building is now fenced off and protected from further degradation. The observatory was built in 1867 by civil servant and amateur astronomer Stephen Carkeek.
The Wairarapa Dark Skies Association was preparing at application for the region to be designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, and they see this historic site as yet another drawcard for stargazers. Chairwoman Viv Napier said the observatory brings in the heritage aspect of what they were trying to preserve.
Wellington City is proposing a by-law banning unaddressed or advertising mail being put in letter boxes marked "no circulars" or '"no junk mail".
The by-law is part of a waste management plan to reduce the amount of material going in to landfills.

They are living their lives with passion and purpose, striving to push further, to create better, to go beyond the ordinary.
A new generation of Kiwis are not retiring from life; they’re finding a new way to live. One with flexibility, certainty, and the ability to dial care up and down as you need it.

Kererū only live in Aotearoa New Zealand. Whether you love their classic white singlets, their whooping wingbeats, or their awesome air shows, kererū are as Kiwi as kiwi.
This year the annual Great Kererū Count 2020 runs from 18-27 September.
As well as being real characters of the bush, kererū are also known as the gardeners of the sky –spreading precious seeds of forest giants such as tawa, miro and hinau. Tony Stoddard of Kererū Discovery, who coordinates the count, says kererū can pop anywhere
“At this time of the year kererū will be flocking to trees like willow and tree lucerne. These trees are kererū-magnets as the birds come out of their winter-feeding grounds and prepare for the breeding season by feeding on the nitrogen-rich leaves.”
“In urban areas, kōwhai are another important food source for kererū, and you will often see or hear angry tui defending their trees from hungry kererū.”
