One of my Cousin is on hiking trip of makra peak. he send some wild flower pics to me so i am sharing it with you.
Amazing that such beautiful flowers grown wildly without proper water, fertilizer and care.
I am glad he did not pull them for you.
Our northern areas are no more as they were fifty years ago. Most of the excess-able meadows have come under cultivation (my own experience)
Nothing destroys nature more efficiently than MAN..
