Flowers in the Tararua range

On Sunday I accompanied a group of people who went into the forest in the vicinity of Holdsworth Lodge looking for Orchids. We didn't see any that were actually in flower (or at least I didn't) but I did take some nice pictures of various other things.
I'm not sure what this one is.

Lupin

A pretty little fern.

Birch mistletoe. It's an extremely rare plant and in danger of becoming extinct. Mostly because possums think it's chocolate, but also because it doesn't spread very fast.

Another shot of the birch mistletoe.
