Identify daisy in NZ

[Lesley Cox]

The only sandflies we really get bothered by Maggi, are the very large ones which actually wear rugby boots. Their bites are quite savage. Smaller kinds, we're used to by now. The West Coast and Lake Manapouri in the far south have the biggest. I remember a certain person running naked from the shower at Lake Monowai, because the sandflies had followed her in there. She ran, but out into even greater clouds of the darned things.

Sandflies? No problem! Mosquitoes are. They are so big you have to use a shotgun The worst place is in Finnmark, northern Norway.

And by the way, Bev, I don't think you need bother saving the Anaphaloides, here it is a weed selfsowing all places.

I wonder who that certain person was?

I couldn't possibly comment.

No sandflies yesterday.
They couldn't get airborne in the heavy rain.

I had fun transplanting seedlings of Totara Miro and Matai.
The Anaphaloides got poked in here and there as well.
I hope they will spread like a weed as Hoy said.

Maybe they will carpet the ground and choke out the gorse.
Previously we had 3 weeks of sunshine. See how this Makomako copes by bathing red roots in the creek.
