Describing the flora of Jammu and Kashmir is like trying to catalogue a library that has an extensive collection of books. Many of the species have not even been documented properly. Nevertheless, it should suffice to say that the state possess a rich diversity of flora. An estimate puts the total number of plant species in the state at over 3000.The flora of the state have a high degree of endemism.
A poem I learn’t at school fits so well here…
How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
in the Kashmir country garden
I’ll tell you name of some that I know
those I miss you’ll surely pardon
Daffodils and pansies
tall holly hocks
marigolds and tulips
and snow drops
roses, asters, daisies
blue forget-me-nots
in the Kashmir country garden......
in the Kashmir country garden
I’ll tell you name of some that I know
those I miss you’ll surely pardon
Daffodils and pansies
tall holly hocks
marigolds and tulips
and snow drops
roses, asters, daisies
blue forget-me-nots
in the Kashmir country garden......
