Dear All 
Saussurea obvallata (DC.) Edgew

From near Hemkund Sahib (about 4000 mts height)
Called as Brahmakamal or Sacred Lotus. This is small herb endangered now blooms from July to September in the Area. This year Brahma kamal was there in plenty and we could see thousands of Plants of it. But none was found in VoF

Balkar ji,
This was my prime motive for VoF trip and see the destiny I couldn`t complete that for this pure beauty, due to my health probelm. But I am sure that I would see it to capture it next year. We shall plan VoF every year. Aameen !
