It has sword-shaped leaves 1–3 metres long that grow in a fan shape. In spring, birds – particularly tūī – flock to feed on the nectar of its tube-like flowers, which bloom on stems up to 4.5 metres long. New Zealand flax is not a true flax like linen flax (Linum usitatissimum), but related to the day lily. It belongs to the Hemerocallidaceae family and the Phormium genus. It grows naturally only in New Zealand and Norfolk Island – no other country has produced a plant quite like it. There are two confirmed species in New Zealand: Phormium tenax and Phormium cookianum. The more common Phormium tenax, with its distinctive red flowers and upward curving seed pods, is also known as harakeke or swamp flax. Phormium tenax grows on lowland swamps throughout New Zealand.

Located downriver, California has been diverting unused water apportioned to other states. Although allocated 4.4 maf (million acre-feet) of Colorado River water, California used about 5.2 maf in 1997…Arizona used only part of its allocation before it started to its water bank in the 1990s with 300,000 maf left. With the establishment of their water bank, Arizona used almost its full allocation for the first time in 1997. Before the water bank (states like Arizona 'bank' water they don't use to sell later, the state was not expected to use its full allocation until 2050.https://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/75px-water_pollution_in_the_wairarapa.jpgWater_pollution_in_the_WairarapaNutrification - from a Wairarapa dairy farm - via flickrhttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pb161253.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAPauatahanui sheds rmmhttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/tinletp1281717_edited.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAPauatahanui Inlet - rmm2010-09-28T10:46:24+00:00monthlyhttps://robynmmoore.com/2010/09/09/kapiti-moves-to-secure-their-water-supply/https://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pb127082.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAPaekakariki Beach, Kapiti - Image by rmmhttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/pb127089.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAIt's Paekakariki - relaxhttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/p5010194.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAKapiti tap waterhttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/p5010158-e1284003601692.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAStop the drip2010-09-20T01:52:40+00:00monthlyhttps://robynmmoore.com/2010/08/18/what-is-it-to-be-water-sensitive/https://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/20070707_59tjscenedndn07.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAInlet - image by R Moorehttps://robynmmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/july-sept-2005-to-aug2006stormwatrpictures-rm-272.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAStormwater at Paekakariki - image by RMM2010-08-19T02:22:13+00:00monthlyhttps://robynmmoore.comdaily1.02014-07-02T04:45:22+00:00
