It is a native of the Mediterranean. its Botanical name is( Pellitory) or Asthma weed,and as the name suggest it is not a good thing to have around anyone who suffers from Asthma, it is spreading like wild fire in the Houghton bay area,the other thing about it is you cannot pick it with your bare hands as it will give you a rash not good for anyone suffering from Eczema.the other problem with this weed is it is a low spreading weed and as you can see is is suffocating the Natural New Zealand Flora.One Plant produces thousands of seeds. so it spreads very quickly.I have Emailed the Wellington and regional councils over this Noxious weed many years ago also informed Bio security. but nothing seems to happen about trying to get rid of this pest.I have been fighting a battle to keep it out of my garden but the problem is the other neighbours don't seem to care.this video was taken on the track that goes up the side of the pines. In Australia especially Sydney. if you have this weed on your property, you will need to get rid of it by pulling it out and bagging it in plastic bags and taken to the tip failure to do so can land you with a fine of up to $10,000.00 we need for this Wellington council to get off its Backside and implement a strategy. to rid us of this weed starting with the walking tracks and maybe getting home owners to do there part before its to late and kills off our wonderful Fauna & flora. Also Old mans Beard Cape Ivy and Wandering Dew or willy is also very rife on the walking tracks. so come on Wellington city council Stop spending money on your Pet Ivory towers and sort this problem out before its to late.Please everyone share this and complain to the council the more voices might get some action from them.It would be interesting to see what the Asthma Society think of it.So lets shame this council into doing something Proactive.

Hi neighbours

We just finished renovating our kitchen and we have some nice shiny black wall tiles that are off cuts.
Instead of binning them, I wander if anyone would like to re-purpose them ie, mosaic style.

The first pic shows how they look on wall. These tiles are nice and shiny.

Hi neighbours

We just finished renovating our kitchen and we have some nice shiny black wall tiles that are off cuts.
Instead of binning them, I wander if anyone would like to re-purpose them ie, mosaic style.

The first pic shows how they look on wall. These tiles are nice and shiny.
In the box, maybe even enough there to do up part of kitchen wall , like a behind the wall splash back. Just an idea.
If keen please pm me asap as we need them gone this week otherwise will go to the bin.

Thanks everyone.
