Cap on larger one about 80mm diameter. Dry weather, so upper surface quite firm and crusty

Amanita family ?

Early seed capsule stage. Notably very long leaves here. Habitat boggy Kamihi forest.

Most plants finished flowering. Notably nearly all had pale cream coloured stems

Pretty little pea-flowered weed in this area

Smaller than those encountered to the north, but likely same spp.

Several colonies growing south side of rock out of reach. Flower buds visible on image 2. Not quite open.

In company with E. mucronata which had all but finished flowering.
Flowers scented, leaves broader than E. mucronata and overall more robust looking plant.

Two colour forms here.

Flesh pink forms here

The large aff alpina form

Above snowline specimens just about to flower

Unusual arrangement of column arms and narrow recurved tepals, similar to many in Australia. Recent vagrant maybe?

Totally out of season single bloom.

This is a very late flower of the C. 'Red Stem' form. Unusual colouration and calli on labellum.

Nice range of colours
