About Poor Knights Lily (Raupō Taranga / Xeronema callistemon):

The Poor Knights Lily (Xeronema callistemon), also known in te reo Māori as Raupō Taranga, is a spectacular and rare plant native to the Poor Knights Islands and Taranga (Hen and Chickens Islands) off the northern coast of New Zealand. Famous for its striking brush-like crimson flower heads that sweep sideways above sword-like green foliage, it is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive iconic native flowers.

Note on Shipping:

Did you know that I only charge a flat rate for shipping for greeting cards, art prints and calendars regardless of how many you purchase?

You just pay for the biggest item in your cart and then you can add alllll the other cards, prints and calendars for no extra shipping!! I also don’t charge extra for Rural delivery (I got you country folk, I was raised in the wop wops 😊)

So, say you buy a greeting card – within NZ shipping is low and fixed – then you add a calendar, wait 2 calendars for both your sisters-in-law, then 8 more greeting cards and 3 art prints… you will still only pay the single flat shipping rate for the largest item.

I also have a free pickup option for my local peeps, just select ‘Free Local Pickup’ from the shipping options in checkout and you won’t pay a thing for shipping!
