Flowering Hibiscus trionum and Koromiko

Hibiscus trionum

: A scrappy little plant that self sows freely on

waste land but it is well worth scattering seeds in dry corners with

poor soil. Enjoy these lovely flowers. White with that deep shade of

purple that is almost brown. Lasting only a few hours. Although

each plant flowers freely, scatter plenty of seed. It should be treated

as an annual. This little pant is pictured below flowering over the Koromiko.

Koromiko

flowering is part of my new drought resistant planting. Koromiko is

an overlooked plant. It is generally used as a

filler in that out of the way place. I love this

one. The yellow green foliage and pretty

racemes of flowers. I grew these from seed

the beauty of growing from seed means you

get natural variation. I have them in several

places. They tolerate damp as well. Don't just

shove them in because you have the space.

Think about what will bring them out. It's

worth it.

A Love Seat:

Les's

latest creation. He is

getting really good at

the garden benches.

I'm well impressed.

This one is a love seat

in the manuka grove.

A quiet spot to watch

birds and listen to

bees.

her garden.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

NEW ZEALAND'S FIRST POPPY DAY

24 APRIL 1922

The idea of selling artificial

poppies to raise funds for

veterans’ organisations

was

conceived by a French woman,

Madame E. Guerin. Her plan

was to have widows and orphans

in northern France manufacture

artificial poppies that could be

sold to benefit veterans and

destitute children.

After Colonel Alfred S. Moffatt

took the idea to the New

Zealand

Returned

Soldiers’

Association in September 1921,

an order for 350,000 small and

16,000 large silk poppies was

placed with Madame Guerin’s

French Children’s League.

Unlike the practice in other

countries, the NZRSA did not

hold its inaugural Poppy Appeal

in association with Armistice

Day (11 November). The

shipment arrived too late for

Poppy Day to be properly promoted prior to Armistice Day, so the NZRSA

decided to hold it on the day before Anzac Day 1922.

The first Poppy Day was a ‘brilliant success’. The annual Poppy Day Appeal –

now usually held on the Friday before Anzac Day – has become the NZRSA’s

primary means of raising funds for the welfare of returned service personnel and

their dependants.

On 10 March 1922, the New Zealand R.S.A. printed a rallying article in their

‘Quick March’ paper. It began: “Wear A Poppy.” Every man, every woman,

every boy, every girl, who will wear a R.S.A. poppy on Anzac Day will be

showing a badge of remembrance.”

arrived in 1963. The big mill was on

top at the right, and while we were

there the planer shed on the left was

built. Bayers, Mellons, Baldwins, and

Lees families also lived there. The Mill

closed in July 1997

The Topuni pine forest was first

planted following WWII and was

bought out by Henderson and Pollard.

Women’s Weekly in 1975.

NEW NON-FICTION TITLES

Do you keep an eye on the new

titles appearing on our Non-Fiction

our other new books) on our

Facebook page as they come out.

New titles go on the Rental shelves

for a period and are $1.00 to borrow

for 3 weeks.

Recently, these great titles have

been added to our collection...

Destitute Gourmet: over 80 affordable and tasty new

recipes plus fan favourites, by Sophie Gray (641 GRA),

Endless Sea: stories told through the taonga of the New

Zealand Maritime Museum Hui te Ananui a Tangaroa, by



Lonely Planet's Best of New Zealand: top sights,

authentic experiences (910 PLA)



The Forgotten Wars: why the Musket Wars matter today

by Ron Crosby (993 CRO).

Hop onto Enterprise* or the library app on your phone/

tablet to place a hold on any title in our collection, or come

into the library to find them on the shelves. We can help

you with placing holds if you need assistance with that.

See you in the library! ~Wendy
