Great to see these Mel - thanks for posting.  I've rotated some that were being turned sideways - this  has something to do with how they're saved in the first place, I think - and just sometimes happens!

  Super plant isn't it, Bob?  I think it is Gentiana clusii alba (?)- I  suspect it was shown by Peter and  Louise Salmond of Hokonui Alpines

It was indeed from Louise and peter, as were many of the Firsts. though the name was a little different, G. c. 'Albiflora' maybe or something similar. The overall effect was pinkish lavender. Thanks for putting these up Mel. I have some more but have moved on since then, with NZIS Convention in Dunedin starting on Friday week.P
