Dear All This Year in June we planned to visit Great Himalayan National Park and Banjar valley in Himachal. Just near the scheduled plan, only we two members me and Shrikant Ingalhalikar ji were ready to go. During this 7-8 days event we visited many places like Chehni Kothi, Shringi Rishi Ashram, Shikari Devi Temple Jalori Pass, Naldehra, Narkanda, Banjar, Tirthan Valley etc. Also this time we faced the two big problems, one is Brake Failure of Our Car while climbing Down from Jalori pass and Accommodation and Food Problem on last night of visit. Despite of all such things, this tour will always be remembered for the exciting wonderful flora we could get during this visit, Hospitality provided at Brahmkumari's Guest House Near Tirthan and above all excellent colors of nature spreading over the entire Banjar, Tirthan Valley and around Shikari Devi Temple. The two most exciting findings were *Cardiocrinum giganteum* and *Capparis spinosa. *I saw Giant Himalayan Lily first time and it was in full bloom. *Capparis spinosa* we could find in flowering at only one place and on only a single plant in that non flowering season for that plant. One plant *Cardiocrinum giganteum, *The Giant Himalayan Lily, I am sharing as my flora picture of the year 2014. Thanks -- Regards
