Thanks Ushadi and Satish One of the commonest plants on thatched walls in March April in Srinagar Kashmir. The flowers look like a mini Ranunculus. When I remember these plants I pity why there no digital cameras when we were so close to plants every day. The great beauty of plants in Ladakh I wonder I would be able to catch or not again. Collected lot of them between 1970-74
