A nice little rock garden in northern Banff N.P. - a small subalpine fir, Abies lasiocarpa, managing to hang on in a sheltered spot above treeline, with Sedum lanceolatum and Erigeron aureus:

Was in Tapanui , West Otago
Was in Tapanui , West Otago yesterday . The town is being americanised for the filming of Pete's Dragon starring Robert Redford and Karl Urban . The zip code 10651 doesn't exist in the US (must be a special one for movies?!) but 10650 is in New York state and I think Tapanui will become Millhaven , NY . I hope the film is set in winter or they may have to wait a bit to film outside

I was very interested to see that discussion. With that help, and the simplified keying-out info in the Pojar and MacKinnon book, Alpine Plants of British Columbia, Alberta and Northwest North America, I think I can finally put a name to this incredibly beautiful alpine! Thanks for doing the sleuthing, Mark!
