Introduction: Ashwini Bhatia

[Ashwini Bhatia]

Hello everyone,
I have just joined your group. I live above Mcleodganj in Dharamshala,
Himachal Pradesh at an altitude of about 1700m. There is a profusion
of wild flowers, ferns, weeds and several other plants that I do not
yet identify.

I enjoy photographing the birds, butterflies, dragonflies and plants
of the area as a hobby.

I am looking forward to an exciting exchange at the group.

Thank you for having me.

Best wishes,
Ashwini

I took this Himalayan White Violet on my phone this morning near Mcleodganj. There are several new flowers on the mountain slopes around. It's a tiny flower-not much bigger than a cm or so from the top petal to the bottom of the lip.

Thanks
Ashwini

Yes, it is lovely here. I had a nice walk in the mountains today with my family. The mountain sides are lined with begonias, balsams, violets, sweetbox, maiden's hair fern, dog flowers and other wonderful wild plants. I hope to gain from this group's expertise and identify the local flora correctly in the coming days.

I will post some pictures from the walk tomorrow. Here is a Large-flowered Pink Sorrel (Oxalis debilis var. Corymbosa). I photographed it on my phone yesterday. Please correct me if I have a wrong ID.

Thank you.
Ashwini

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the leaves. The flower stalks were jutting out from below a municipal water pipe next to a narrow road with traffic. I did stoop low to see but was not successful. I have another picture of the flowers from the top if that helps in the ID.

Thank you for your help. Usha di, did you see my email answering your query about the Daisy Fleabane?

Warm regards,
Ashwini

yes, yours is a fleabane no doubt, Ashwini.

but i am not a botanist, so cant be sure about the classification based on that one pic...

the only fleabane i am more  familiar with is e. ramosus with rather white or faintly pink petals.

lets hope Gurcharanji or Dr Rawat will reply soon.
