Well this is not a great looking image coz i was too overjoyed in spotting this rather rare flower not to say bizzare looking as well,
this flower grows only at altitudes of +15000FT & that too in very few valleys of the Himalayas.
The cob-web like looking things on the flower are wool which the flower produces itself to protect itself from the extreme cold of the region, it's a very small structure & grows just inches above the ground so i had to lay down on the belly to capture this & i cud'nt look properly in the eyepiece but i sud have chkd the lcd to notice the clipping on the right side
Flower Name - Grass Leaved Saw-wort (Saussurea graminifolia)
