Flowers of Pakistan

Post by Maryam »

Hello everyone!

I need help with a project I am working on called Flowers of Pakistan. I need names of flowers, at least 15, that are grown in Pakistan and also in which part of the country and what season.

I searched the internet to get these answers but haven't had much success. I read the message threads on the forums on this website and found that this is a serious forum with members who know and love everything about flowers.

Assuming this is not an academic assignment (as a teacher I wouldn't encourage anyone getting complete online homework help) you should check the database maintained by University of Florida:

http://www.tropicos.org/Project/Pakistan

Or for more formal work, see "Flora of Pakistan" by Dr. Irtefaq Ali.

See wikipedia for " Flora of Pakistan". In a strict sense the flowers of Pakistan should be native, and naturally growing species not something that is imported in recent years.

Dear Mr. Farooq,

Thank you for the information. No, I don't need the information for an academic project :-) . I appreciate your conscientiousness :-)
