Hi! :)

Hi to all!
Your forum seems to be a very kind platform and therefore I'm coming in.

Gardening and flower cultivation is my great hobby and I am always very curious to learn and to discover new methods of multiplication. My flowers, mainly perennials, are mostly grown up from seeds. But cuttings are also tried. For these one I don't use hormon powder because the natual way is successful enough for me.

My garden is located in the middle of W- Europe where we have a continental climate. As we can we love to respect the nature and avoid, if possible, tu use chemical products.

I enjoy to learn much gardener's methods here and to share with you my growing experiences if they can be useful for you.

Kind regards,

Morina

Welcome to the forum Morina.

Welcome to the forum. Great to see a gardener from as far as Europe. So what perennials are you growing, Morina?

[Morina]

Hi,

thank you very much for your friendly welcome, Johara and Khabbab!

My list is a little bit complicate, but I like primula, aster, gentiana, viola, iris, anemone and alpines in general. Shrubs such as rhododendron, murraya, buddleia, citrus and so on. There are also crinum, but this one I didn't try to sow them yet.
And I like lilies and camellias, too. Oh, I forgot, I have also some roses and clematis.

What is your main occupation in your garden? I think that you have to create much shade for your hot summer, right so?

Welcome Morina.

My list is a huge one.I grow daylilies,iris,adenium,lots of flowering vines,african bulbs and gerberas.We use green net in order to shade plants from strong sun in summer.

Thank you, Tweedle2009 for your welcome!
Your plant list seems great! Could you list your day lilies (hemerocallis) and your irises? what kind of varieties do you have? From this flowers I have species and hybrids, for irises also some germanicas, but I prefer the fine species, germanicas are too large in my opinion, but pretty, too.
Yes, I forgot the green net, but trees like Albizia are very nice, too. Perhaps they need too much water in Pakistan ? How do you resolve the question of watering your flowers in the very hot period? So it's right that either daylilies nor irises need much water.

My have list contains:-

Daylilies :-
I have about 20 daylilies in my garden.I am an importer of rare plants and I sell most of my stuff as I dnt have much space to plant.Fortunately I've acquired a piece of land where I can plant whatever pleases me so I'll be planting 400 diff daylily varieties in my new garden in march.You can see my daylily list on my website.It's a huge list so very hard for me to mention all here.I have another 200 daylily varieties comming this month and I plan to plant 40 in my garden which I won't sell at all.Daylilies don't need much water.They are very hardy but if they are watered well the result will be very high bud count.

Irises:-
I am growing Louisiana Iris currently.I planted them just a month ago so need to see how they fare.There are a few friends of mine here who are growing these wid success.I am expecting Japanese Iris (the huge dinner plate iris with 6-12 inch flowers) in february.I also have a very rare starfish iris named Ferraria Crispa.I have 4 forms.Iris do need alot of water.So i keep them wet all the time.

Gerberas:-
I have a huge range of double/full crested gerberas.I used to have 3000 of them but I got rid of them in order to make room for daylilies.People in USA and australia are a huge fan of my gerberas.

Vines:-
Vigna Caracalla
Mucuna Sempervirens
Aristolochia Gigantea
Aristolochia Grandiflora
Akebia Quinata - Chocolate Vine
Clematis-Sweet autumn and florida sieboldii
Senecio

Clivias:- Expecting 20 diff clivia varieties in february.

Bulbs:- I am also planning to plant 50-60 diff african bulb varieties next month including Brunsvigia , Ammocharis, Boophone, Lachenalia , Geisorhizza radians etc.

Adenium:-
I have over 150 varieties of adeniums imported from thailand.

I am sure I ve missed out on many other plants that I grow

[Morina]

Oh! yes, I see - their is a huge list and the rare irises are very interesting.

Happy New Year for you all!
