ID the flower at Tawang AP

[Dilip Pandit]

These tiny flowers were sprouting on rocks and gave such a mesmerising effect that it cannot be described in words. I have taken a very close up picture of these flowers. The rocks looked like red carpets from a distance. Taken in October this year on way to Bumla Pass at about 14K feet.

 

Could you id this flower.
