Dear Syed Adnan
I like all your flowers especially like your Daffodil Plants. As you know I also grow daffodils, now-a-days waiting for blooming flowers. As your advice next year when I digout bulbs I follow your refrigertator technique. I want to know when your daffodils blooming "how much day and night temperature in Saudi Arabia".
Thanks
Asim

Normally daffs , narcissus or paper whites are very difficult to bloom here, mostly night temps are 18 and day around 27 , Only in JAN temps reduces to around 10 in night for a few days only, i put the bulbs in fridge around Aug and bring them out in Dec, this time they bloom for me in JAN/FEB, you can use the technique explained by Khabbab in the following link, it is working well for me .

Muhammad Arif Khan and Syed Adnan
Thanks for your understanding

BTW, these are beautiful looking Habiscus. Excellent. I always loved the orange colour with dark red / black eye. Do you have more colours?

But remmeber if a plant is blooming . it is a happy plant

Absolutely right, only if the plant has done so in the normal course, without any artificial treatment.

I used to have 6 colors in total , last summer others died because of harsh heat, it is very difficult to keep plants in summer intense heat here , i used to bring most of the plants indoors in summer.
