Tiny White flowers seen at Gulmarg on the 11th of Sept,11.

Small plants like herbs growing wild.

Flowers about 1 cm in size.

Can they be Cerastium species? C fontanum in FOI seems to resemble my picture.

Please validate.

Narendra ji, you copied my wrong spellings. actually it is my fault

It should be Myosoton aquaticum (syn: Stellaria aquatica)

Narendra ji,

Thanks for sharing your picture of the same.

I have a long way to go to get such great quality pictures.

Sir ji....I did find the error in spelling after I checked on FOI and Google.....but then you have been finding time for each one of us, so we can overlook these small things I suppose.No issues.

Thanks & regards,

Aarti

Aarti ji, I share your views on this aspect of overlooking inadvertently put wrong spellings.
But, there is a necessity of having correct spelling at least for one instance in the entire thread of posts. That is for helping get the thread in search results, else it would remain buried in the database.
Thus any person may purposefully take the opportunity of re-concluding the thread putting the correct spelling and thank the persons involved in the discussion.
Regards.
Dinesh

Dinesh ji,

Thanks for the feedback.

I get your point.

I was going to do it in my 'thanks mail' to Sir ji...but before that could happen, Sir ji corrected himself.

It had happened with me before, when I copied a wrong spelling from FOI.

Regards,

Aarti
