Balsam (Dog Flower)

Spottings coming up. Added a more detailed pic of the flower. Thanks for the request, I will accept it :-)

Sure Ashish.

Yes, Monkey mind, still more spottings to go. It was perfectly beautiful. If there exists a heaven on earth then it is in valley of flowers. Sorry, the great Himalayan blue poppies were growing at a height where we could not reach. I wanted to see them desperately. They are known as the queen of the Himalayan flowers.

Thanks monkey mind for clearing the doubt. There were many kinds of balsam around. Thanks Ashish, enjoyed the trek thoroughly. These were very common plants during the time we were there. The locals say that that every week the plants change. A week before our visit, it was rose time. Much to learn and to be explored out there.
