Meet the plant
Small White Rata

Meet the small white rātā: a woody native vine that climbs high into the forest on slender, clinging stems. In summer it smothers itself in dense, fluffy clusters of small white flowers, lighting up the canopy like drifts of soft snow.

Read more

Small white rātā (Metrosideros perforata) is a long climbing rātā vine of the myrtle family, able to reach twenty metres as it winds its way up trunks and through the canopy of New Zealand forests. Its small, rounded, dark green leaves are dotted with tiny glands and pale on the underside, and they cloak host trees densely as the vine matures. From late spring through to early autumn it bursts into masses of small white, sometimes faintly pink, flowers, gathered in soft, fluffy heads rich in nectar. Also known as akatea, this gentle climber transforms whole trees into cascades of white bloom.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
