Placenta

We finally got around to burying Orla's placenta yesterday (spurred on by the breakdown of our freezer...).

Here is Brendon putting her plant on the top - a Coprosma flat freddy (brunnea x kirkii hybrid). Apparently this plant is wind hardy and "one of New Zealand's most amazing ground covers".

This time it is in a pot (unlike Aidan and Isabelle's placentas which are in the garden itself).

I just have to relay a story about placentas that I read on my internet group a while back. This person was shifting to Wellington and was wanting the removal company to transport two pots, each containing a placenta and a plant. The removal company suggested taking out the plant, removing the dirt and transporting just the pot.

Customer: "But they have placentas in them!"
Company: "Can't you buy those in Wellington?"
