#FridayFlower Raoulia bryoides is a large firm cushion plant from the New Zealand mountains, often called a vegetable sheep. This at 1700 m in Nelson Lakes National Park last Wednesday. The flowers are in tiny heads, showing that this is a daisy (Family Asteraceae). I invited the ladybug for scale.

The surface of a silvery-grey cushion plant with tiny yellowish daisy flower-heads and a bright red ladybug.
