Dear Ushadi, Thanks to Gurcharan ji for solving my confusion.... actually This plant is growing all around in Kalatope too at an altitude of 2100 mts too... the difference in inflorescence and the color of leaves kind of fazed me...
Actually at the place where I found it (at 3000mts) this was the only plant of this species I found... so I guess it might have some problem propagating around there... maybe due to cold or whatever reason... but as for pollination .. it should not be the problem since there are a lot of butterflies and bees which I noticed there on the flowers.. And soon you'll see the sample of all the flowers I found at even higher altitudes (at 14000 feet) :) regards Alok Ushadi micromini wrote: > Dear Alok ji: > Wonderful...subject and Picture quality... > > since in the short growing season high up, this plant must get quickly > pollinated... > ANY IDEA WHAT flies around to pollinate, so the next generation of > seeds would be available... > > I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION was there a sizeable colony of these plants > around this one? > > Usha di > ======= > > On Aug 12, 6:02 am, Balkar Arya <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes Sir Androsace rotundifolia > > > > On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 1:44 AM, Dr Pankaj Kumar > > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > > > > > wow!!!
