Prashant ji and friends Valley of Flowers episode may be officially over on 19th September, but it will perhaps continue for several weeks to resolve identity of several species. Till now we have only tentatively resolved the identity, as with closer to more than a 100 uploads each day there was barely time to observe photographs and comment on the basis of what we knew from our experience. Perhaps there is need to have relook at all uploads of Astragalus, Impatiens, Primula, Potentilla, Rhododendron, Epilobium and a few more genera. We will devise some method to do that, may be a special focus episode in near future.
