    One of many signs around at the Dunedin Botanic Gardens is their regular night shooting for rabbits and possum pest control.

    So a cheeky young rabbit comes out for a mid-afternoon feed of these nice Phlox subulata 'McDaniel's Cushion'.

    "Mmmm they taste really good\ compared to grass." 

    But it may be its last meal today?
