I know just how persistent you are, Kip; great shots!
(I remember a Peak White that kept you going for about an hour - in the end we had to drag you away, else we would have probably still been there!)
Keep having fun .....

Morning Paul! That's a great shot of the darwiniana - they don't often allow that!

Someone's going to say it, so I might as well: I think your mannii is napi. At least, it looks perfect for napi and I've never seen mannii looking like that (I'm thinking of the shape of the apical spot and the dark triangles down the outer margin). Maybe you posted the wrong picture by accident - it's happened before ! :D .
