Valley of Flowers June 2007. ID requested. There are around 300 different varities but I only managed to picture around 25, cause the main flowering season is from August onward.

Flower colour does not match P. rosea. I would go with P. pseudodenticulata

Yes this is not rosea, why not P. denticulata only?

Perhaps yes, P. denticulata

First photograph of FOI and key in Fl. Pakistan (head with more than 12 flowers) confused me, but second photograph of FOI does match.
