Never again

Post by Muhammad Arif Khan »

After a long, long interval I again tried Hyacinths. The results were so dis appointing that I have decided Not to grow them again.

Dear Arif Sb,
Congratulations on growing Hyacinths. I also tried but no luck. Are Hyacinths bulbs available in Pakistan ? This year I could not find them in shipments that arrived for exhibition in karachi ( DHA Nurseries).

Regards
Asif
