A couple more images of a Geranium from Ladakh attached.
I know which species I consider this to be but it would be useful to know what other members think?

Disappointed that nobody has suggested an identification.

I shall comment further about my present understanding of Geraniums in Ladakh but for the time-being will say that I am in agreement with the listing by Dickore & Klimes (2005) for Ladakh of:
Geranium himalayense
G.pratense susbp. stewartianum (though have not seen it in Ladakh myself – the nearest being Baltal near Sonamarg at the bottom of the Zoji La)
Geranium regelii
Geranium sibiricum 

Geranium himalayense Klotz.


Geranium regellii  – sepals with white margins is a signature.


Actually Geranium himalayense  only!

Delphinium ?- South Pullu in Ladakh:
At an altitude of 15,300 feet on the Leh-Khardung La road at South Pullu on 15.6.22, in Ladakh.


Geranium ??


Geranium


Some possibility of this being Geranium himalayense Klotzsch, although it is difficult to confirm in vegetative stage.


G. pratense is another possibility
