Common one is grandiflora or rosea. Rain lilies flower after a rain, even if the rain happens to be in the February
Aquilegia does not have bulbs.

Columbine is a nice plant. It is being grown in Murree and sold in Lahore.The price Rs. 80 per plant was not a good value. I would rather plant Butter Cups. My butter cup seedlings have started to bloom.

Yes you are right. Although i bought the young plants from More green @20Rs very early.
Do post the pics of butter cups. I love the large showy flowers of buttercup.

Ranunculus all from seedlings.
Semi double dahlia from seed
Indian dahlia from cutting
Tulip clusiana Lady jane. Flower is large as compared to small plastic pot i am growing in.
Petunia in plastic container on terrace
Gazania
Buddleja Asiatica- Winter lilac. Honey fragrance fills the air with 100+ spikes. Too bad it flowers only once in a year. So Alousia virgata
http://www.gardeningpakistan.com/viewto ... ?f=2&t=193 is better than this one guys.
