Veronica serpyllifolia

Indeed Veronica serpylifolia
Some information from Wikipedia………….
Veronica serpyllifolia (thymeleaf or thyme-leaved speedwell) is a perennial flowering plant in the plantain family. It can be found on most continents.
The leaves are oval, borne on creeping stems. Roots grow from leaf axils. The flowers are blue, or white with blue or purple stripes, in racemes on upright stems. The seeds are tiny and disk-shaped, borne in two-lobed pods.

Thank you for so much additional information, … Nice to know these flowers also appear in blue, white, etc.

Veronica serpyllifolia from Kashmir, common in subalpine and alpine meadows. Photographed from Khillenmarg on June 19, 2010.

I think it may be V. serpyllifolia ssp. humifusa (Dickson) Syme as per keys and details at Veronica serpyllifolia ABMAY2017/03

May I request you for high resolution images where we can verify the glandular nature of the pedicel as per keys as below from Go Botany:

1a.  Corolla blue, 5–8 (–10) mm wide; pubescence of pedicels, in part, of viscid or glandular hairs; filaments 2–4 mm long; racemes with 8–15 flowers; larger capsules 4–6 mm wide   … 17a. V. serpyllifolia ssp. humifusa (Dickson) Syme

1b.  Corolla pale blue with blue lines, 2–4 (–6) mm wide; pedicels puberulent with eglandular hairs; filaments 1–2.5 mm long; racemes with (12–) 20–40 flowers; capsules 3–4 mm wide   … 17b. V. serpyllifolia ssp. serpyllifolia

I think it may turn out to be Veronica serpyllifolia subsp. serpyllifolia only.

Mindblowing images of a sweet plant (Thyme-leaved Speedwell) from Kashmir.

The roots growing from the leaf axils can be clearly seen in the second image.
The plant creeps on the ground, and the racemes are held upright.
Nice adaptation.
