Hi Ahmad i have gardenia bushes in Mardan & Islamabad.they bloom well,full of flowers.but in late spring.i think Lahore,s climate is not so change than Islamabad,it should flower.if its not blooming in late spring then some thing may be wrong with it.

@ Ahmed Irfan ... Buy another one , but only after winter have passed.They do flower without any fuss.
@ Izhar ... that's a wonderful gardenia.Did you purchase it from a nursery or grown it from seed?

Re: Fall, winter & spring blooms 2011-12, Karachi
Thank you all for the compliments
Hamza: Unfortunately at Lalazar you will only find the green ones and they are also very expensive... try Diamond nursery instead on the Korangi road, although they dont have the variegated one but the green ones are less expensive..
Johara: this Lantana camara is a gift from Mir Afzal sb. i really liked the dark and contrasting colored blooms, will propagate it in spring and share inshaAllah
Umar: It wouldn't have been possible without you my friend, my Dahlias are under attack of leaf miner and thrips ...was very busy the whole week, will spray them tomorrow inshaAllah
Ahmed Irfan: didn't you used any thing to make the soil acidic?? Gardenia requires low pH, check the post here on soil pH, you can rejuvenate it easily... don't be dishearten..
Adnan: it was a gift and the same plant which I propagated via air-layering (mentioned in a separate post)

Izhar some of my dahlias were under attack from Downy.but with 2-3 sprays thanks God they are recovered now.even now can see the damaged foliage of my red splashed orange in my post its dahlia time.Inshallah your dahlias will recover rapidly after chemical treatment.
