Hello All
 
I am new in this group. Saw some lovely posts by fellow members.
 
I Wanted to share some pictures of flowers I got from Valley of flowers.. This one is the state flower.. locally called Brahmakapaal..
 
It grows at a height at 3500m plus.. I shot this at Hemkunt Sahib at 4000m.
 
Regards
Deepa

Sorry everybody. I got confused with another species also called Brahma Kamal.
Here is the real one (i.e. the one posted by Deepali ji):
Saussurea obvallata Astraceae Bramhakamal Hemkund sahiba, valley of Flowers- Aug'08.  http://www.eoearth.org/article/Nanda_Devi_and_Valley_of_Flowers_National_Park,_India
