Pakistani wild Strawberry only please -help need from locals or those living in Northern areas

@krash kindly do look through this thread...I am seriously trying to make some research collaboration with Pakistan if it will let me...
 
. .
I shall try to help, np.
Pictures of the plant, leaf and fruits will be really helpful if it works out I will be going to Pakistan for Eid-Ul-Adha I could prob extend my stay to look for those (IF the pictures proof them to be a different species) ...Just keep an eye out for them and please spread the word...

I swear I emailed everyone in the govt to universities who had remotely reported anything regarding Pakistani strawberries...2 replied 1 just told me they are nothing special and 2nd one was like a businessman asking me to come over and check em myself....One has to wonder how these people stay in academics when they dont collaborate :unsure:

@Akheilos, Hows life mali? :D
still alive? thought you were banned hence the silence...lolz

@krash
Thanks for offering to help,

I need a clear picture of a strawberry plant, I need pictures of the full plant, its leaves, flowers (if you see some would be helpful) and fruits (which would help further)

OK so you need to find a flower with 5 white petals, yellow stamens as in the pictures on this thread. Flowers are small 0.5 to 1 inch wide and the plant grows less than a foot tall.
The leaf is compound with 3 leaflets as below, the stem of the leaf is hairy. The leaves start smoothly then the edges have what we call teeth or sharpness

@krash @farhan_9909 ...any berry pix for me?

I was played for a fool by PIA. They wasted 5 days of mine waiting for my tickets' confirmation stuck in Islamabad. Get this; I had the tickets in my hand, paid in full, the flight was indeed leaving, but I wasn't allowed on it, 5 effin days in a row. These guys have no idea how to run an airline. They transfer the backlog from previously cancelled flights on the very next flight on the seats of the people who have actually bought tickets for the said next flight. And no one tells you this. "Don't worry sir, your flight will most likely be confirmed till 8 hours before it departs, just wait."

After 5 days of being tossed around like trash by our national airlines I just changed the plan and drove myself to Neelum, AJK. Tried searching for the berries there, asked the locals but nothing concrete, just some reports of areas that might have them but no one was sure. My apologies. I'll be trying for Hunza in the coming fall again, fingers crossed.

Aww...that sucks! No prob! I am sorry about the plans.....PIA hai hi issi kabil...

I remember we had a transfer - had tickets from London to home via Karachi (2hrs transit to change flight)....well we got stuck in Karachi for about 6hrs which stretched to about 8 hrs and well...no ground crew guided us and later when it was like 2 hrs before departure some of the crew had the audacity to ask me if we had been offered a hotel which was our right if flights are delayed more than 2 hrs....I was like nope...every 2 hrs they kept telling us 2hrs....And I was pissed coz we had 2 weeks of vacation and 1.5 days was spent in travelling and not to mention the experience in jet lagged condition was horrible!
