Hamad AK I think it should be ok for first year but cant say anything for the following years, as they require some pampering for Lahore chilling period will be must (you can refrigerate them for couple of months) and the rest if any member from Lahore may guide you better in order to get the best results, in Wah Cantt for me they are doing well for the second year in a row but propagating them is hard.

Syed Adnan I m also considering Green Pearl a very beautiful and rare Daff and Orchid mix is also a good option but I will wait and see how many members will consider Daffs then we will decide

Hamad AK also consider them to plant in south direction or at a cool place in your garden (considering micro climate in your garden) with few hour of good sunlight hope they will be doing fine, the purpose is to secure them from scorching heat of Lahore because they survive up to March-April and in Lahore the Temperatures are already hitting high nodes

I would suggest Paper white daffodils as they are more heat tolerant and don't need artificial chilling to induce blooms...

Sure Munir sb and Tahir do you know at what price Paper White is available from Pakistan because I m also interested in Paper White but as they are easily available in Pakistan and if the price is good then I will also purchase some and if not then we will consider them from here and for the Mix Daff other than our specific variety I just heard from a friend of mine that they are available for £ 1 /- per 30 to 40 bulbs and the source is trustworthy as I tried them already and they are doing fine for me in Wah Cantt but tomorrow I go in person to verify the price and quantity if I will find them for £1/- then I will buy few for sure but remember they will be Mix small and big, double and single, white and Yellow, Trumpet or small cup and will update you tomorrow

Paper whites were available from Lahore a few years ago but i have never seen them in Rawalpindi or Islamabad, Maybe Khabbab bhai or Rafique sb can better confirm their availability in Pakistan.
