Sparaxis were a hit for me this season they bloomed from late feb till late april for me 3 flower stalks per bulb, colour range was less dramatic just orange and yellow with and without yellow and black halos, offer on dutch bulbs.co.uk is 100 bulbs for 4.50 pounds... around 7 rupees per bulb!!! i got mine from Islamabad 15 rupees per bulb, and i think we might get more colours pinks, violets and cream out of these :) come on people half price

Ixia was a total failure i wont recommend them.

Let the demands pour in....and in the end depending upon Hamad Sb's approval quanitity/etc wise.......some members can opt out/we can reduce the quantity. At least have wishes :-)......if they are filled or not is another issue. Remember Khan Sb's offer is also there. We can alternatively look for bulb vendors in USA and accordingly find these bulbs there also.

first lets prepare the wish list and we need to be quick as time is running out, if there will be any issues regarding the size of purchase we will reduce the number of bulbs per variety like instead of one going 50 bulbs can have less in number but more varieties and propagate them or we will go for most desired bulbs only and this will not be the only time someone will be bringing bulbs from UK in near future another friend of mine is going to Lahore and soon I will be following ;) .
I will also start to compile the list and will let you know which bulbs are available for purchase

Great idea, bulbs/ corms multiply fast so members can split them even further so more varieties and more people can enjoy the same thing, one other thing is that we have to do some homework on permits such as phytosanitary certificate, customs duty etc before your friend can bring the bulbs to Pakistan to avoid problems.
