Promise. 12 00:00:34,693 --> 00:00:36,973 Speaker 2: I am so delighted with your topic today because, as 13 00:00:37,013 --> 00:00:39,253 Speaker 2: I was just saying before the break, I've been sitting 14 00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:42,053 Speaker 2: We've just had gray, miserable days, and it's just about 15 00:00:42,173 --> 00:00:44,613 Speaker 2: very wintery. And this week we've got, you know, we're 16 00:00:44,693 --> 00:00:47,333 Speaker 2: very our gardens very confused. We've got a lot of 17 00:00:47,333 --> 00:00:51,573 Speaker 2: blossom out. And the toy bed oh, just big gorgeous 18 00:00:51,613 --> 00:00:54,413 Speaker 2: toy and the birds song and it just puts a 19 00:00:54,413 --> 00:00:56,213 Speaker 2: smile on your face, just lists you, doesn't it. 20 00:00:57,013 --> 00:00:59,573 Speaker 3: You've got it, And that's exactly what it's about. I've 21 00:00:59,613 --> 00:01:02,293 Speaker 3: actually noticed how when we hit this all this great 22 00:01:02,373 --> 00:01:05,853 Speaker 3: stuff going on, there was very little things to lift 23 00:01:05,893 --> 00:01:09,453 Speaker 3: you up. So so it was actually interesting because I 24 00:01:09,493 --> 00:01:11,733 Speaker 3: came I drove home from the city. I think I 25 00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:13,773 Speaker 3: can't remember, and I thought, you know, what am I 26 00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:15,413 Speaker 3: going to do? And I thought, and there was odor 27 00:01:15,453 --> 00:01:18,373 Speaker 3: rings to one of the places where I go buy plants, 28 00:01:19,493 --> 00:01:22,613 Speaker 3: and so I just screamed into the into the side there, 29 00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:24,853 Speaker 3: packed my car and just had a look what was 30 00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:30,253 Speaker 3: actually interesting at the moment, and I was amazed, amazed, 31 00:01:30,453 --> 00:01:34,813 Speaker 3: which is so many good things. Well, I found maples, maples, 32 00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:37,813 Speaker 3: and there's so I've got all the stuff. Letby's put 33 00:01:37,813 --> 00:01:39,133 Speaker 3: them all on the on the wet side and so 34 00:01:39,173 --> 00:01:40,893 Speaker 3: you can never look at it. There was, for instance, 35 00:01:40,973 --> 00:01:46,813 Speaker 3: a maple with bright red stems in the wintertime, absolutely wonderful, 36 00:01:46,853 --> 00:01:50,013 Speaker 3: as sen Khaki called thing. And then when I came 37 00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:52,653 Speaker 3: home later I saw another maple called grizsium, which is 38 00:01:52,653 --> 00:01:56,773 Speaker 3: the paperback maple that has this amazing if you like, 39 00:01:57,293 --> 00:02:00,933 Speaker 3: back that flutters off in the sunlight and it's back 40 00:02:01,013 --> 00:02:05,293 Speaker 3: lit in this coppery orange color, just beautiful. It's called 41 00:02:05,373 --> 00:02:08,533 Speaker 3: arsa grisium, which is crazily crazy word in Latin because 42 00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:11,333 Speaker 3: grisium means gray, and that's probably to do with the 43 00:02:11,333 --> 00:02:13,373 Speaker 3: fact that the leaves are gray. But that's not the story. 44 00:02:13,573 --> 00:02:17,573 Speaker 3: Is that barkpeeling now, Yes, it's peeling now, and it 45 00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:20,213 Speaker 3: and it makes the If you see it, you'll see it. 46 00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 3: You'll see the photo on the website. If you see 47 00:02:22,213 --> 00:02:26,053 Speaker 3: it sticking out in random sort of manners, if you 48 00:02:26,253 --> 00:02:30,373 Speaker 3: like it looks absolutely alive. That's one of my favorite trees, 49 00:02:30,413 --> 00:02:33,013 Speaker 3: by the way, grisium. And I'm not talking about natives. 50 00:02:33,013 --> 00:02:37,333 Speaker 3: These are all all Japanese or North American trees. And 51 00:02:37,613 --> 00:02:41,133 Speaker 3: but I just thought that is sometimes where your heart springs. 52 00:02:41,533 --> 00:02:44,293 Speaker 3: You know, a step and says, this is it great stuff? 53 00:02:44,453 --> 00:02:46,133 Speaker 2: What about if you're a little bit of color? 54 00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:51,173 Speaker 3: Erica Erica, that is Erica, which is I know that 55 00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:54,213 Speaker 3: from the Netherlands as heather or heath or in Natalan's 56 00:02:54,253 --> 00:02:57,613 Speaker 3: we call it de hay. And this is absolutely beautiful 57 00:02:57,613 --> 00:03:00,693 Speaker 3: because it's flowers right now in mid to late winter, 58 00:03:01,013 --> 00:03:03,973 Speaker 3: and it's the place of course where all the pollinators 59 00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:07,773 Speaker 3: that are still around can get their This is important. 60 00:03:07,813 --> 00:03:10,493 Speaker 3: I look at this too, as you can imagine. So 61 00:03:10,693 --> 00:03:12,853 Speaker 3: that's that's a cool one to have an in your garden. 62 00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:15,933 Speaker 3: Go never look at Erica. Then I found, of course 63 00:03:15,973 --> 00:03:19,613 Speaker 3: Daphne's and hellebores and osmantors, and those things are always 64 00:03:19,693 --> 00:03:23,133 Speaker 3: there there. Everybody's got them, everybody knows them, but don't 65 00:03:23,213 --> 00:03:27,093 Speaker 3: underrate them. They are beautiful. It's just a good thing 66 00:03:27,213 --> 00:03:29,773 Speaker 3: to look for right now. And then I went to 67 00:03:29,933 --> 00:03:32,893 Speaker 3: some of the native things that I you know, I 68 00:03:32,933 --> 00:03:37,853 Speaker 3: always have to go back to native libersia, beregrints or gokia, 69 00:03:37,973 --> 00:03:42,053 Speaker 3: which is the genies ghost and frosted chocolate. These are 70 00:03:42,413 --> 00:03:47,893 Speaker 3: absolutely colorful, almost hedgy plants, especially the karrokia. And that 71 00:03:48,013 --> 00:03:51,773 Speaker 3: means that your hedges can be bright reddish orange at 72 00:03:51,813 --> 00:03:54,813 Speaker 3: the moment. I like that idea. I like that. 73 00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:57,813 Speaker 2: And you also made the suggestion of hopito not a 74 00:03:57,853 --> 00:04:00,693 Speaker 2: little peppery, a little bit of a peppery taste. 75 00:04:01,293 --> 00:04:02,973 Speaker 3: Not only that you can use it, you know, of 76 00:04:03,013 --> 00:04:06,173 Speaker 3: course as a culinary thing, but horopito is also one 77 00:04:06,173 --> 00:04:10,173 Speaker 3: of the unexpected beautiful things that goes into red yellows, 78 00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:12,533 Speaker 3: greens and all. And the best place to see in 79 00:04:12,573 --> 00:04:14,573 Speaker 3: and I'm not going to tell Auckland is that in 80 00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:16,853 Speaker 3: the best place to see mister Katlan's. 81 00:04:16,733 --> 00:04:19,853 Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you Rhodes.
