Yellow Dwarf   lilac ladies
This beautiful plant has played a central role in developing new varieties; imparting medium height, pastel colours and more open foliage.   Lilac Ladies, our latest single introduction ready for pollination
pollinating   snow on plants
Lost in a sea of mulberry pink delphiniums - Our pollinating staff have a pretty daunting job ahead of them   August 2011 saw an unusual cold snap and Wanganui had snow. The delphiniums were untroubled but sure slowed down
Lilac Ladies   deepest pinks
A close up of Lilac Ladies - well lit   The pinks are getting deeper every year. This cross is our best yet and will be introduced as an upgrade to Pink Punch when we have sufficient mother stock
  Kereru
And since we are into close-ups you may as well have one of this too   The Kereru, our native wood pigeon rests in the sycamore tree outside our office
green twist   silver delphinium
We're also working on Green Twist to make it green even in full sun   Our steel delphinium still hasn't produced any new shoots so we'll be moving it to a new site shortly as it is rather overgrown here
field of flowers   Blues
A section of this year's outdoor flowering trials   Punchy blues with dark bees
dark blue cuts   Debbie cleaning seed
This the first flowering of a trial to for deep blue cut flowers   Debbie knows that seed like music while being cleaned
Hollyhocks   crop cover
A Hollyhock peeks through phormium tenax (NZ Flax) in front of our house   Keeping the crop seed secure from cross pollination by insects
hydrangea    
An old hydrangea enjoys what little sun we are getting this summer
