Summer Blooming 2012, Karachi

[khabbab]

Khabbab bhai, i didn't smelled the passionflower.. i still remember that i have to send you the white passionflower seeds, i'll send the lantana cuttings with it.. they root easily...

If these passionflower produced fruits then i can share their seeds too...

Well cuttings of honey fragrant lantana i would love to have once the rains hit in. Right now the dry heat of 45C is killing everything.

[Izhar]

I'll air-layer it and send you once rooted... i have 8 varieties of lantana but only this one has a pleasing fragrance..

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Khabbab 45 C is good but i think its more than that.47 or may be 48C these days.

[Izhar]

It was 29C here in the morning, with 81% humidity... so the credit goes to the weather..

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Izhar you are living in heaven.its so hot here.i have to deeply water my roses & grass daily.deeply watering is good for roses.

[Izhar]

Datura meteloid 'Evening Fragrance', the seeds were initially bought from Thompson and Morgan (UK). These are not regular wild daturas, the blooms are very large and fragrant..

[aykhan]

Very nice. I just pulled out and threw away my metel daturas since they were growing and growing with no flowering......

[Izhar]

my datura metel are growing as a weed now, here and there blooming... even growing in difficult locations where other plants have failed..

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Hi every one.yes Izhar these are not the wild type.the plants are dwarf & compact.the flowers are metallic white am o right.Khan sb Datura Metal is flowering like crazy.i love the double blooms which look like double grandiflrora petunias.i think you may have fertilized it too much with Nitrogen based fertilizer.

[aykhan]

Khan saheb I didn't fertilize them at all. Just not having any luck with daturas and Brugmansias.
