Thank you,Mr. Hamad.With the last bag of bulbs reaching home,let me propose a special note of thanks & gratitude to Mr.Hamad for seeing the whole process through from start till end; including planning, purchasing,coordinating,packing/repacking,despatching through friends/cargo,collecting & bulk breaking in Pakistan & delivering to Mr.Tahir Khan;following the progress at each stage,ensuring speedy action & above all keeping everybody updated all the time. All the beneficiaries will agree with me that he did it most meticulously & painstakingly-all in all a commendable job,for which we are deeply indebted to him.

Thank you Mr.Tahir Khan for providing the final support for sorting out the big bags, dividing them,repacking & despatch to each concerned member.

May Allah bless you both.

I think I have done my job nothing extra , thank you very much for your words for me they mean a lot.

now I hope they will successfully bloom for all of you and my best wishes are with you in your process of experimenting with some new bulbs

don't give up or get disappointed if some bulbs don't sprout or bloom for you, don't forget its for the first time and we could improve in future

AOA all

today I enquired with my homes with regards to new bulbs and reports were quite positive, 99.99% Glad Nanus and Freesia are sprouting and flourishing quite quick, Scillia is doing good, Ipheions are sprouting slowly but surely, one is growing out of anemone and Oxalis have yet to confirm and so far no good news from Ixias and Sparaxis!

trying to get some photos and will share once I will receive them.

Happy gardening

Hamad

What about Bassera Elegans blooms?

What about Bassera Elegans blooms?

izhar bhai their behaviour is very strange..one ready to bloom is still with bud but leaves are becoming yellow and other are dying after yellow leaves.i dug up one and was surprised that original bulb is rotten and instead of bulb there are 4 bulblets. so i think they are not suitable for our climate.perhaps cold weather is main reason.
