| Yakla Snow Lotus is a rare perennial herb, found high in the Himalayas, at altitudes of 3500-4300 m. It is probably named after the Yakla Pass in Sikkim. Yakla Snow Lotus is a beautiful perennial stemless plant. Flowers are deep purple, in a solitary central flower-head. The flowers form in a dense head of small capitula, often surrounded by dense purple woolly hairs; the individual florets are also purple. The dense purple wool is densest in the high altitude species, and aid in thermoregulation of the flowers, minimising frost damage at night, and also preventing ultraviolet light damage from the intense high altitude sunlight. In most Chinese martial arts literature, the snow Lotus was classified a rare herb as precious as lingzhi mushroom, and old ginseng. |

Delhi Is Gasping Again, And This Time, Even the Clouds Refused to Help
Delhi is choking again. AQI levels have slipped into the ‘severe’ zone, cloud seeding failed, and emergency measures barely make a dent. Because the city doesn’t need one-off fixes, it needs long-term healing. Trees remain the simplest, most effective answer. They absorb carbon, trap dust, cool the air, and act as natural lungs. If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
