Tahir shb, for rare but exotic plants like these which do well in Pakistani gardens- we may add the place where an interested reader can purchase them. I am assuming it is not commonly known but it is a must have for a perfume garden. What do you think?

Yes Sir, the seeds were from Thompson and Morgan seeds UK, it is a rare plant in Pakistan... we can add the field of
'Available from' for a readers convenience in the table.

Good idea, but I guess it will be a burden on the volunteer to find a location if it is created for every entry, but these rare and very interesting plants must have a location, may be in the description as a note. I like to collect to fragrant plants but wasn't even aware of it. So that is the advantage of the database :-)

Indeed an intriguing flower.Tahir, I need seeds.Wonder why it is called as a " Night Phlox",when it hardly has any resemblance with the common Phlox?

Sir the flowers resemble common garden phlox.. that's why it is called Night phlox.
Superficially the shape of the flowers is strikingly phlox-like, hence the designation 'Night Phlox', for their evening fragrance.(wikipedia)
I will try to arrange seeds for you this season.
