Feels like forever since I last got into the mountains but a fine Canterbury anniversary day provided the opportunity for some high speed botanising. I was allowed 3 hours to get from porters pass to pick up at the road at dry creek, 8 km with 900m up and back down on loose scree most the way. Ranunculus haastii was what I was hoping to find and I did. Also some nice chionohebe pulvinaris and raoulia mamalaris.

Super plants (and photos) Hamish. This day out must have done your spirit a power of good after the weather we've endured for weeks now. Hope you'll show more such plants soon.

Hi Hamish,
Great to see your photos from Foggy Peak. I am getting itchy feet. In the meantime I am occupied photographing weeds for the Otago Peninsula Biodiversity Project. It is getting a bit tedious -----

Hope you're seeing great things in the mountains this summer as well, Hamish.
