The Paraparas (the road between Wanganui and Raetihi) are very twisty. I suspect the load in the trailer shifted, causing it flip and this would've significantly reduced the drivers ability to steer...

Don't even look at P. macroceros then.

There's at least one less specimen at the site already. Not me I tell you! Actually I find P. grandiflora tricky in cultivation, it lasts a year or two and then slowly dwindles away. I suspect the winters here aren't cold enough or something. Then again, I have a nice collection of Mexican Pinguicula species so that keeps me entertained. It helps to have the guy with the biggest collection in NZ living a couple of blocks away ('Pete' in the 'people' photos) and coming to my house for takeaways tonight.

He also grows some serious Arisaema and Tricyrtis although has resisted my Oxalis so far.
