Please suggest some Flowering Plants

[Khurram]

Assalam-o-alikum!

I am new to Gardening and want to buy some plants which give flowers in Summer, Some plants which flower in Winter and some which give flowers all the year.
Please provide names for some famous and easily available plants. The only condition is the FLOWERS SHOULD BE BEAUTIFUL.
Just for information, I live in a flat with morning sun for around half an hour in one gallery and afternoon sun for around 1.5~ 2 hours in other gallery.

Hope the forum experts will help me out with some good instructions on how to take care of the suggested plants.

Thanks a lot in advance.

It is suggested to grow Orchids. They will fulfill your requirement of beautiful flowers year round... there are lots of products available for orchids in the market.. you will need a spray gun of 3 liter capacity as orchids like to be sprayed with water twice daily minimum... they don't like disturbance and the air flow around them should be minimum..

Select plants with active growth and fresh leaves...

Thanks Azhar for your suggestion.
What is the local name for Orchid. Because normally the local nursery people don't understand English names.
From your email I understand they should be kept in shade.

They are available by the same name at the nurseries on Korangi road... they need bright but indirect light..
