Dr sb very refreshing pictures.Eibb tide is not meeting my expectations.thanks that you posted first hand pictures.i was thinking its true deep purple.the Amaryllis are gorgeous specially the Double record.Dr sb i have discovered that Fressia is so perfect in our climate.This year Inshallah i,l add some Double Freesias. your freesias are looking great.i am sorry i missed mine to post.Thanks to Arbab last year he gifted me some freesias which bounced back in the same pots & flowered.it was new for me.

I am in agreement with you Khan saheb about Ebb Tide. It is not what the pictures show. I think the dark smokey purple is due to cooler weather which we don't have. However these earlier blooms are more purple than pink and for me it seems the older flower is more darker. I also got Twilight Zone bare root and put it in the ground few days ago to see if that will give me the truly smokey purple I am looking for in a rose.

I had decided last year after seeing my freesias bloom that they have a permanent place in my garden. The pictures you are seeing are from bulbs in the ground for last year.

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Yes you are right Khan sb Freesia will be soon have a permanent bed in my garden Inshallah.Your Freesias are gorgeous.Yes weather,sun light hours play great role in rose color.D.D planted in shady location,Semi shady location & in full sun light has different shades.may be thats the case with Eibb tide.

Interesting thought. Maybe I should plant Ebb tide ina shady spot?

Fascinating stuff. The roses are very nice, specially the climbers. Lover the splash of annuals around Chlorophytums. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics Sir.

Mashallah beautiful flowers sir, do share your source for the wisteria wine in pattoki since I was unable to find one there, Arif sb gifted me one a few days but I would like to have all the colors of wisteria in my garden. Your freesias are great.
