Thanks Rawat ji, It indeed is a hill beauty to marvel at. It is one of the three common Primula species that come to flowering at snow melt (on Rohtang slopes) - the other two being Primula denticulata and Primula rosea. Thanks for adding to the info.

Myrsinaceae) Fortnight: Primula edgeworthii from Himachal: GSG-13 This Edgeworth' Primula is simply superb. A steep slope embellished with rosettes of this is a treat to watch after snow melt. I have seen it few times in Tungnath, Kedarnath, Khalya top ad few other alpine zones in Uttarakhand.DSRawat Pantnagar On Tuesday, June 10, 2014 7:40:46 AM UTC+5:30, gurinder goraya wrote: Dears, Primula edgeworthii from Himachal [Narkanda-Hatu, Shimla; 2800 m asl] The colour variation is mainly due to ambient light conditions.
