I've noted on the gallery that I think this is a Corydalis sp. but I wouldn't like to go closer.
Lovely name, apparently korydalis means 'crested lark'.

Not all the Myosotis spp have yellow centres. On the other hand, there are so many members of the Boraginaceae that look similar ....

It was indeed not a myositis but does belong to the boraginaceae.. and most probably be 'pseudomertensia nemerosa' and according to the 'Flowers of Himalayas' (Adam Stainton) found from Afganistan to Kashmir... but this proves that it can be found in lower reaches of Himachal Pradesh too...
GREAT.. one down one more to go.. 
Thanks again

Should be something in the columbine family, the photo I found in my archives, shows the pods of this plant probably taken by me (and forgotton) at a later date... but isn't it more like a Hybrid... (in the wild...  )

if they're the same plant then correct: this is certainly Aquilegia from the very distinctive seed pods. The other is still not convincing but maybe an incompletely open one of a cultivar such as this: Aquilegia sp. | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
'Double' forms are bred for garden use - they do not consistently produce double flowers when propagated from seed but sufficient double seedlings might survive occasionally in the wild?
