(Pic was taken at the altitude of 4000m, Pachu Glacier, Uttrakhand, India.)

Shamrock Pea/ Blue oxalis is a brilliant blue flower from the Himalayas. From the leaves one could be forgiven for thinking it is a clover but the pea-like flower sets it apart. This little creeper covers itself with bright blue pea-like flowers during the flowering months. The three-part leaves have leaflets which are inverted heart-shaped.

1st photograph was taken at Kullu, Himachal Pradesh & 2nd one was taken at Pachu Glacier, Uttrakhand, India.
