Khalid sb all these bulbs can be planted now, you just need to ensure that wherever you plant these bulbs the soil should be free draining.. i.e. water does not puddle in that soil.

1. The first pic is probably of 'Lycoris aurea' yellow coloured blooms in autumn.

2. The second is 'Scadoxus multiflorus' or blood lily, fireball lily...

3. Third pic is maybe 'Lycoris radiata' red flowers in autumn because all the vendors in Pakistan sale lycoris radiata by the name of red nerine lily.

4. Fourth is 'Clivia Miniata' and it may have orange or red blooms does best in a shady spot.. will die if it is planted in full sun.

5. Fifth and sixth looks the same they are 'Amaryllis' and as seen in the picture flower stalks are coming out plant them as soon as possible and all the other bulbs...

6. Add a very little amount of DAP fertilizer to the soil to give your bulbs a good start and water only when the soil gets dry keep all the bulbous plants in part sun/part shade where they should receive about 6 hour of sunlight except 'Clivia' which should be kept in a shady spot.

BTW what is the source of these bulbs? What vendor or shop?

Dear Khalid Sb.
My dear friend Tahir sb. suggestion and information about growing bulb is 100% right but above all I think depends upon climate of your city where these bulb can eaily bloom. I can grow red nerine lily for past 2 years but waiting for bloom. Yestarday I can grow "Football lily". Hope so it will bloom in modereate temperature of Lahore.
Best Regards
Asim

thankyou Tahir Sb

1-Planting season of following bulbs is over, just save these in paper envelopes and plant these in fall. Lycoris lily bulbs may damaged because of late arrival
Lycoris lily
Blood lily
Nerine lily

2-Planting season of following bulbs is still in progress and you can plant these immediately.

Clivia (Keep container under full shade)
Amarylis 2 colors (filter sun, semi shade)


I think you have import these bulbs and Clivia needs extra care in winters otherwise you may kill this one.
