An hour walk with Hollard’s garden will be a delight for the senses. Uncover rare and unusual plants in this stunning garden.
With great views of Mt Taranaki, Hollard Gardens is a 4.5 hectare property located in central Taranaki, close to Egmont National Park. First established in 1927 by plantsman Bernie Hollard, the gardens boast a plant collection of national importance including many rhododendrons and unusual plants.
Owned by the Taranaki Regional Council, Hollard Gardens is one of the public stars of the Powerco Taranaki Garden Festival.
From the bird's eye view of the previous photo to a worm's eye view of a mound of turnips (swedes?) gleaming in Winter sunshine. They were grown by or for William Power & Co. of 26 O'Connell Street, Waterford. This photo may eventually hold the record for most unusual pic of the day, but nobody can complain that we're not exploring every aspect of Ireland and Irish history!
And if there are any root vegetable experts out there, could you please weigh in on the swede versus turnip controversy?

We have a cracker of a photo to start you off this week, one to get our automotive followers drooling at the mouth. I see "Spencer's Coal" leads the livery on the lorry but there is not a lump of the black gold to be seen? Or is this more a story of Power? The fancy topiary on show should help with pin pointing the location.
The general consensus is that this Sentinel steam lorry is captured transporting tobacco leaf for W. Power & Company. One of several Poole commissions relating to the merchants (of seed and tobacco) that we've had over the years. Given that yet another image in the catalogue captures the same lorry entering the Power's Glenville premises (on the Dunmore Road outside Waterford city proper), it seems plausible that this image was taken on the grounds....

After doing some research, using Google’s Street View Maps, I’ve determined that the structure being knocked down is the PowerCo Federal Credit Union. It’s near the eastern end of the East Lake Shopping Center on Roswell Road (GA Hwy. 120)
Although it looks like a panorama, it’s not. It’s a 24mm wide- angle photo made with my minuscule Sony DSC-WX220. The top and bottom edges were cropped out.

Who would have thought that tobacco would be cultivated at Rathmoylan in Co. Waterford? We believe that a Mrs William O'Brien commissioned this photo…
Thanks to OwenMacC for providing the location of Rathmoylan House (with local confirmation from ofarrl). And delighted to see one of the people in the photograph being identified - that's Peter Power sitting in the front row at extreme right. Again we have local information from ofarrl to thank for this, via a relative of Peter Power's on the Waterford Heritage Group's FB page.

We're back again with William Power Seed Merchants of O'Connell Street, Waterford, but just couldn't resist the lure of the Christmas tree/Snow princess vibe! Not too sure what's going on with the man at the front, but he does not look happy! Maybe he wanted to be in the driving seat?
Prize of (virtual) Christmas pudding for whoever spots something interesting in this photo that we discussed over the last while!!
Thanks to ofarrl for confirming that this photo was taken at the side of Waterford Courthouse.

Men loading plants at William Power & Sons, Waterford. The labels on the huge baskets all say "Hamburg. Urgent". Wondering what plants? Could it be those in the foreground that look like mini Christmas trees. But why would there be a trade in Irish Christmas Trees to Germany? Bit like coals to Newcastle...
Also wondering if the little girl is attached to the Power family. She's certainly not poor, given the fur collar and little leather gloves.
We originally had no date for this photo, but the tractor registration is YI 9417. YI means it was first registered in Dublin, and that number range went from YI 1 to YI 9999 (April 1921 to March 1927), so reckon that'd date this photo to after 1926. What do you think?

wellington flickr meet 4 sept. wellington flickr meet was at syn bar, not least of which becuase it has all-you-can-eat pizza on monday nights. only there was no pizza (crikey, it's like 'the pub with no beer'!) due to the gas supply outage in wellington's central business district.
I felt compelled to fill in their customer feedback form - strangely (for Hell Pizza ) there was no check box for "hell" to discribe your experience. never mind, we made our own category.
1000 customers in central wellington have been without gas since wednesday 30 august after a burst water main flooded the gas network. as of 6 sept, about 200 business owners and inner-city residents have endured more than a week without gas. strolling the streets it looks as though gophers have invaded (albeit very organised gophers with safety barricades); street corners all over the city have been dug up as powerco network engineers attempt to restore service.
gyms and restaurants are suffering, with large decreases in business. powerco has appointed insurance loss-adjusters to review the situation.
A horticultural oasis in the very heart of dairying country. A passionate plantsman's garden and Taranaki showcase ... Discover the passion and determination that made Bernard Hollard invaluable to many gardens and nurseries, and learn about plant propagation.
Owned and managed by the Taranaki Regional Council on behalf of the people of the region. Enjoy it - it's yours.

wellington restaurant zibibbo was clearly pleased to have gas - signs out front attempted to lure clients in, amidst a restaurant area where many businesses were turning clientelle away with kitchens closed.
