Succulent with large brown speckled star shaped flower.
This plant is well established, and can be grown outdoors in a sheltered position. Large thick serrated leaves. It does not have thorns.
It produces large golfball size speckled flowers star shaped....quite unusual and spectacular.
Name : Orbea Variegata
The plant on sale is the last one potted in the black plastic pot with the flowers. It could well flower this year.
These succulents don't really like direct sunlight, but they are drought tolerant and easy care. Christmas present maybe.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
