Before leaving the subalpine zone of New Zealand let's have one more nice flower. January is the early summer here, and like all such high altitude summer plants. They have a pretty impressive floral display for their brief season. This particular flower is highly symmetrical and quite attractive in clumps. Seen here growing in a gravely soil with a number of other plants ranging from some 600-1800 m, Gentianella bellidifolia. The flowers are about 1 cm in diameter when open.
