Next trip over the pass to Christchurch the camera is coming with me.
We usually just drive for 2 and a half hours non stop.
It takes photos like your to show me  what we have.
Thank you.

Yes Bev, do that! I've enjoyed looking at Dave's pictures from NZ. Then I know what's waiting for me if I ever steer that way (I intend to do..)!

About the photo 1044

Is that vegetable sheep Raoulia mammillaris?

Hi Bev, we were told by the boys Steve Dave and Doug that we saw Raoulia buchanani not sure really but yes vegetable sheep is a description used,  cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Bev ---sorry for the late reply ,(and i'll help Ian C).---Photo 1044 is either Raoulia mammillaris or M.eximia,( i don't have the expertise to tell the two apart while in the field and in any case i don't carry a hand lens ).

Raoulia buchananii which Ian has mentioned is shown in his reply-- number 35  --(8th photo,Raoulia hillside).

Cheers dave.
