What you named as Marsh Marigold, is also a wild variety of Daisy. It is a species of Gloriosa. Wow, you got the Himalayan blue poppies in their natural habitat. Now they are being cultivated and hybridized as well.

I like wild flowers more than their garden varieties.

Waiting for VoF-IV. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous beauties.

Oh, what to say of the photos...incredible shots from an incredible place...the flowers look beautiful & lovely views there.....

as for the Shimla trip, nothing is confirmed yet. The work pressure now is showing no signs of decreasing and that's why I have slowed down on my blogging too. But there is some bit of travelling going on due to work related purposes, quite frequently now, so the shimla trip will be postponed to a later date....stay well & what about your plans???

Now, what do you think you are doing? Keep us waiting to be fed more of your delicous tidbits til the Danube freezes over? It might happen, you know.
Seriously, how are you?
