Mountain flowers and scenes were the subjects for a photographic competition held by the Canterbury Alpine Garden Society to mark its twenty-fifth anniversary. Entries came from New Zealand, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, East and West Germany, and Czechoslovakia. Ian Tweedy, of Christchurch, won the class for a slide of mountain flowers photographed in habitat with his shot (top left) of a scree buttercup (Ranunculus haastii) at an altitude of 1520 metres near Lees Valley. Among the acceptances in the landscape class were a slide by Joe Cartman, of Christchurch, showing cloud formations over Lake Coleridge (top right); giant Spaniards and silver mountain daisies in the Takatimu Mountains (bottom right), photographed by Margaret Bulfin, of Lincoln; and Mt Cook and the Red Lakes (bottom left), also by Ian Tweedy. The competition was judged by Mr Derek Hearn. The society, founded by a small group of Christchurch enthusiasts, has grown to be one of the largest of its kind, with more than 800 members world-wide.
