My favorite list of Exotic Himalayan flowers

In 2007, I had the opportunity to trek in the valleys and cross high pass that existed around 4 dhams which are very famous among Indian pilgrims. The valleys I visited were Ruinsara valley, Dodi tal region, Sian gad valley, Gomukh region, Khiro and Panpatia valleys, Madhya Maheshwar region and Kedar valleys.
I was amazed at the variety and quantity of the flowers that I saw in these high places and lower valleys. I put down my favorite list of Himalayan flowers. I selected them on the basis of the a)structure of the flower and plant b) colors that these flowers possessed c) The altitude at which they were seen d) Size of the flower

Twelve Exotic flowers of Himalaya:

1. Morina longifolia
2. Lilium Oxypetallum
3. Aquilegia pubiflora
4. Corydalis
5. Thermopsis barbata
6. Iris
7. Dactylorhiza hatagirea
8. Berginea stracheyi
9. Meconopsys (Blue puppy)
10 Epilobium latifolium
11 Cypripedium
12 Saussurea Obvallata (Brahma Kamal)
