Southland district councillors are frustrated that people keep flushing wet wipes and cleaning cloths down the toilet.
And the council waste and water operations manager Bill Witham said grinders might be the only way to go, as people were not getting the message.
There are literally thousands of daffodils here, where Ian Riddell has spent over 25 years in the business, from preparing the soil and planting bulbs to harvesting flowers and selling them.

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.
Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.
The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.
Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.
What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?
“So I would say it’s possible I might have the most plants per square metre,” she quips.

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.
We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.
Share your thoughts here.
Prepare to be wowed, Southland.
That’s the word from the co-managers of Invercargill’s new art space and museum, He Waka Tuia, which opens to the weekend.
When asked why this was being announced as a policy when prisoner support programmes were already in place, he said a new programme had been launched on Monday.

Hi Neighbours,
There is just one building left to be demolished in the Invercargill inner city. Are you excited to see this progress in the inner city development?
