Spring 2014
Here are some pics from my container garden on roof top:
Dahlia fireworks mixed, From seeds.
All my roses are first year except double delight.
Although my double delight gives a lot of flowers but flowers are small and fragrance is good but not overpowering. I prefer cherry perfait which is not fragrant but its blooms are solid and bush is more healthier than double delight.
Burgundy iceberg, i am big fan of icebergs, they are top floribunda. First year, so kept only one bloom, rest pinching till next year.
Brilliant Pink Iceberg, Own root. I have planted another own root pin iceberg at bottom of my neem tree as iceberg is very shade tolerant, i will show its pics next year.
Fragrant plum grandiflora. Wonderful scent. I am enjoying my roses in pots a lot.
This is French Lace, a floribunda, i love its color and its compact size. Own root.
A miniature rose, my kid removed its tag, its a famous named variety. Own root.
Another mini rose, i think it is winsome. Own root.
My first year growing galds, they flowered well. This variety is from prise seeds.
Petunias and in center dimore.
Amaryllis Tres Chick
Carnation, I intend to keep them as perennial, lets see if they survive monsoons.
In my soil bed
Pansy
Aster Pink tower, From seed. The actual plant has around 6 flowers but i could not take picture.
Brunfelsia, growing under neem tree, doing fine.
To be Continued .....

Tahir Glads even even comes in the darkest purple & Greens like Green wood picker.Tahir when i used to plant Glads i used to purchase from Awan commitee chowk.His Glads at that time were No 1 on the market & gave 100% results.He used to import 20-24 colors.You may try Awan.I think they may even still import the finest.Gladiolus is such a bulb which has the widest color range.
