Prashant-ji, Thank you for your helpful response. I remember some images my brother took of a similar flower from the Shimla Flower Show last year and it was labelled Copper Iris. The ones I saw and photographed in Leh were fresh - the yellow of the petals was not because they were dry. Look forward to your images from Rohtang Pass. Sushmita Jha
