Various PC games from back in the days of Windows XP. Open to offers. I'm happy to answer any compatibility questions.
I first saw this tall bearded iris growing in a large clump and I was mesmerized by it.
Shades of white yellow and chartreuse with plum flecks. It flowers at this time of the year.
It is part Aril bred but not enough to be classified as an Aril.

There is heaps of rhizomes in this large pot full. It is crammed.
Bearded iris are easy to grow. They like the sun, and don't mind the frost at all.
Tall flower spikes appear in the flowering season with large flowers arrayed up the stems coming out in succession.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Very popular indoor house plant at the moment, though I did have one that was happy enough to winter-over under thick tree cover.
A trailing plant with thick fleshy leaves and clusters of pink and white star like flowers .
Easy care. Don't mind drying out if you forget to water them for a … View moreVery popular indoor house plant at the moment, though I did have one that was happy enough to winter-over under thick tree cover.

Easy care. Don't mind drying out if you forget to water them for a bit. Like the light but probably not glaring full mid day sun.

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing my second year of Hairdressing at Ucol, Masterton. We have 4 weeks of the year left, and we are desperately seeking clients to help get us our last sign-offs for gold coin haircuts/clipper cuts/razor cuts, and $20+ perms!
For perms - Hair needs to be above … View moreHi everyone! I'm currently doing my second year of Hairdressing at Ucol, Masterton. We have 4 weeks of the year left, and we are desperately seeking clients to help get us our last sign-offs for gold coin haircuts/clipper cuts/razor cuts, and $20+ perms!
For perms - Hair needs to be above the shoulder, not touching. They start at $20, depending on how much product we need to use (which shouldn't be much!) We are only doing classic wind perms, but they don't have to be those super-tight cherub curls of the 80's. We can give you loose waves/curls if you'd prefer!
I have attached some pictures of some cuts, similar to the styles we need to do.
Below are a list of times/days we have available!
Monday - 9am, 10:30am, 1pm
Tuesday - 9am, 10:30am, 1pm
Wednesday - 9am, 10:30am, 1pm
Thursday - 9am, 10:30am, 1pm
Please leave a comment, or message me if you're interested! Thank you! :)
It's that spooky time of year and while there are some streets that welcome Halloween and set themselves up for trick or treating, there are other houses where you're more likely to get an earful than Halloween lollies. Do you think there's a place for Halloween in NZ?

There is at least three large rhizomes in this pot and 3 flower spikes at the moment.
Name: Irwell Indian Maid. A New Zealand bred iris by the late Ron Busch. Beautiful form with flowers nicely arranged up the stem not too close together. Large blooms of rust red with white Striations.

Bearded Iris like the sun . Don't like being waterlogged.....who does!
They are perennials that come up every year. Look magnificent in a clump.
The large pot goes with the Iris. It is a very wide necked terracota colour plastic pot in good condition.
Thanks for looking.

My visions for a waterlily pond have not happened so I can pass this waterlily, which is just started to show new seasons leaves, to someone else to enjoy. The flower is white.'
It is a good sized clump.
The container can go with the waterlily.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.
The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.
