Haastia pulvinaris var. minor
Thank you NZ AGS and Steve Newall for organising this amazing lecture tour and trip to New Zealand.

Indescribably nicely. So one does not get an opportunity every day. I would solidify before reverence to salt. 😊
I question me like old these gigantic copies are. The rear Haastia is even bigger. Insanity. What is this for a silver plant in the lower edge of the Haastia? If I see what for spectacular things you already everything there have seen and have experienced. You make us up here a lot of joy with your fantastic pictures, dear Julia . And to me particularly.😊

The best greetings to your skilled company and you...

Hi Thomas,
I have been so very lucky to travel to NZ and to have perfect weather for nearly 5 weeks.
I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the pictures - THANK YOU Maggi for reposting them for me.
The Haastia I would guess would be a 100 + years old. But it was great to see many of them in many sizes even very new ones with single rosettes. As Ann Cartman said “many new lambs”
As the large ones are called sheep due to the fact from a distance they look like a heard of sheep on the side of a mountain.
Hopefully I will write an article for the IRG on Mt St Patrick - well pictures etc
My Christmas holiday project - fingers crossed Maggi 😮🤗
