Found a couple of plants with unopened flowers. The leaves and the habit suggest a Veronica species. V. capitata perhaps? Please advise

On my trek in the mountains over the weekend I finally found flowering plants with seedpods developing. Here are the results. I think it confirms our earlier guess and is Veronica capitata.

5 images.

Thanks, …, for completing the thread.

Saw these along the Ghangaria Hemkund trail, Uttarakhand in Aug 2018.

Is this some Veronica species? Requested to please provide ID.
… just a wild guess: Geranium nepalense ?

Some species of Veronica (Scrophulariaceae) to me.

Pl. check as per suggestion by …, at 
Looks like V. capitata to me. Kindly validate.
To me also appear close to images at Veronica capitata
looks very close, the color seems a bit different may be due to local light + digital sensor, (sometimes find color is very different in different light, even daylight), otherwise matches
