Tailbot Palm

It's a palm tree but not any old palm tree. This is the Talipot palm (

corypha umbraculifera

) and, with heights up to 25 metres, it's one of the largest palms in the world. It also bears the largest cluster of flowers on a single stem - 6 to 8 metres long. This remarkable palm flowers only once in its life, when it is 30 to 80 years old, and dies after fruiting.

Blooming Bulbs

Juliet and Lindsay had their business burnt to the ground in a cowardly arson attack preceded by graffiti and intimidation.

Greetings!


It's the end of January already and what a hot, wet Tim Durrant and sometimes shaky summer it has been so far. Awoken by a noisy earthquake at 4 am this morning I spared a thought for Cantabrians who are frequently getting rudely shaken in the wee small hours.

 

After a great holiday break we are back into it here in the office. A bit tough some days when the sun is shining outside and still many people on holiday casually walking Napier's central city.

 

We have a great line up this month.

 

Enjoy!
